I like the idea that the turtle was like, I'm not into this AT ALL I am just out here doing my best to save the species. This is important to me. Extinction is not an option.

I’ll be honest, I’m not convinced Diego was actually aware his species was going extinct and that he needed to have sex non-stop.

Tell that to the kakapo! This flightless NewZealand bird has been hovering on the brink of extinction for years. Part of the efforts of the scientists trying to save them is artificial insemination, since they seem oblivious to sex. This turtle should give them lessons. HaHa

Quite apart from everything else, Bob was just plain wrong. There is not a massive difference between being sex mad and doing your best to stop your species dying out, since they are not mutually exclusive and even if they were the observable outcome would be identical in either case.

Does he think a tortoise is aware of the status of their species? Because it's far more likely he's just a randy git who likes getting his end away, and all power to him.

He is right, though. There is indeed a difference. A big difference That difference being, among other things, having a concept of what a species is. Diego has no clue about taxonomy or eradication. He saunters up, saying "I've come to eat lettuce and fuck. And I'm all out of lettuce".

TBF equally funny to think of a sex mad tortoise (presumably by tortoise standards), just being a sleazeball and having the tortoise equivalent of slick back hair and a hairy chest out.

I’m curious as to what else Cod Liver Bob expected a tortoise to do to ensure the continuation of its species other than fuck whenever the opportunity presented itself. Activities like habitat restoration aren’t really possible when you’re a tortoise up against humans.
