Dirk the randy tortoise certified ready for busy breeding season
CENSORED THE thought of breeding season has certainly brought Dirk the tortoise out of his shell.
Despite being well over 70, he is more than ready to do his bit to save his endangered species.
The giant Galapagos tortoise has regular relations with the three females in his enclosure. He has not produced any babies so far – but staff at Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton, Oxon, hope that will change now Dirk has passed his annual health test. A spokesman said the 10st tortoise – named after porn star Dirk Diggler – “mates all the time”. He added: “He is really randy. This year could be the year.” Diggler, who was notoriously wellendowed, was immortalised by Mark Wahlberg in 1997 film, Boogie Nights.
