We have a couple of tortoises running around our garden. Usually they'd 'disappear' for months - they hide in the places I never think of.
So we had a few people around for a barbie.. and along comes the male.. everyone is
so cute, and it's gone around the corner.
A few minutes later along come the female, with the male after it.. .. everyone is again
so cute, but I can see what's about to unfold.

The magic moment is when the male
jumps on the female and tries to shag it.. everyone is silent and looks the other way.
The female is not giving in, and the male is persistent.... then went on for a while and the male eventually accepted the rejection.
