This is a cool high def video of a Leopard Tortoise X Sulcata hybrid that my partner Gerard has been caring for lately.
I can't say I like the idea...Remember this from few years back ? ......
"been there done that" ...
Now this would have been a crazy cross..... (this was never intentional and never happened , but every time if put together in close range - this male elongated would go after the leo female ....)

Before all the negative speculation and opinions are thrown out ….there was a lot learned from this in a scientific perspective. This is/was not a “forced copulation” so it seems species that “are closely related will and can produce hatchlings. Is this a need for sex? A built in cue that all males must breed? Are there pheromones involved? What cues for sexual advancement did the male make?
…. The list can go on and on …..Now I’m not saying I agree with crossing – but nevertheless until folks do something like this – we would never know. Try tracing your own DNA and you would be very surprised ….…
