Turtles are the horniest animals on the planet.

If you don't have enough girls per male, they will not be able to eat or drink because they are constantly molested by the fuckmachine males.

If you want to live with turtles, don't mix genders, or get a whole lot of turtles..

Considering their reputation for lack of speed, the sex must be extremely satisfying so of course they're always wanting more! 🤪

Fun fact, the velociraptor calls from Jurassic Park were based on sounds of turtles mating

The little buggers are not as slow as people think.

These are tortoises, not turtles.

What is a tortoise anyway? Is it just a fancy way to say “turtle”? Well, actually, there’s a meaningful difference between tortoises and other turtles. All tortoises are in fact turtles—that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell—but not all turtles are tortoises. If tortoises are turtles, why not just call all turtlelike creatures “turtle”? Because if the animal you’re referring to is a tortoise, some wise guy is going to correct you every time.
