The most tireless and passionate proponent of saving the Galapagos tortoise from extinction is ancient, lecherous, and not particularly attractive, but those attributes are apparently a big hit with the ladies. Gentle reader, meet Diego, the lusty 100-plus-year-old tortoise who has helped bring his kind back from the brink of extinction—by having copious amounts of sex with any female in sight[..] "He’s contributing enormously to repopulating the island." How enormously? Diego is babydaddy to an estimated 800 offspring, or to better put it, a genetic test four years ago showed "that he was the father of nearly 40% of the offspring released into the wild on Espanola," the tortoises' native island.

Hmm, wonder what that will do to the genetic quality of the species.

Well I for one applaud his efforts to supply us with more soup!

Last I heard there was strong genetic evidence of someone passing on a lot of DNA at the right time in the right place.
