By: Lynsey Ford Dirk the Galápagos tortoise, who weighs in at an impressive 31 stone, is proving that age means nothing when it comes to romancing in the run up to Valentines Day. http://www.zsl.org/ The sprightly tortoise who lives with his svelte young ladies, Dolly, 16 and Dolores, 14, didn’t even give bemused Dolly time to finish her meal or get out of the bath before she was seduced by the persuasive pensioner - much to the amusement of visitors. Nicknamed ‘Dirty Dirk’ the Zoo’s Romeo and his Juliets can be seen daily at the Zoo’s Galápagos tortoise exhibit. http://www.youtube.com/ http://www.flickr.com/ Ends More pictures are available on request Founded in 1826, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is an international scientific, conservation and educational charity: our key role is the conservation of animals and their habitats.
