All the tortoises seemed to be "at it" and were quite vocal in their escapades, with the males grunting appropriately much to the embarrassment of some parents with a group of children.

African Spurred (G. sulcata) by the look of it, you naughty, naughty, man. Is this zoogiraffe's influence?
EDIT: I would wonder if these were rescue animals - the (ahem) lower animal in particular has a very lumpy shell, suggestive of a bad diet in the past.

Look away now... the fascinating thing was that the grunts from the males were not on the direction of stroke one would expect. I did come to my senses after a few minutes though and decided to discreetly move along.
@Maguari Hi. Yes they were rescues. Although they have a great diet now, the shell will always be this way unfortunately. Good teaching tool for the students though.
