Did You Know?

That somehow, some way, turtles were humping on the road in front of our house this morning? While I was enjoying the quiet, these guys were getting busy?

(I don't see how this works...if you are a nature buff and can explain this, please...do. There's the shell and all...)

Hmm... Wikipedia says "While it appears that most Terrapene carolina mating occurs in one-to-one encounters, there are occasions when two males will contend for access to a single female. These encounters consisting of butting, shoving, and perhaps attempting to overturn each other. One of the males eventually becomes exhausted and retires from the field while the other wins access to the female."

Sounds like too much work!
