Not sure if anyone here has seen this, but Jonathan is apparently the oldest known tortoise alive. This article is making the rounds on social media, calling him a "gay" tortoise because he tries to mate with a 30 year old male tortoise. I am thinking this is another clear cut example of human projection, but please correct me if I am wrong.
Turns out Jonathon the 186-year-old giant tortoise – the world's oldest living animal – is gay
Carers of 186-year-old giant tortoise Jonathon had long wondered why he'd had never procreated – until a vet realised that his mate of 26 years, Frederica, was also male.
