At more than 100 years old, Diego the tortoise may be slow but he's certainly still got what it takes with the ladies in his life - all six of them.
Weighing in at 82 kilograms and measuring just 90 centimetres long, the sex-mad tortoise has fathered 800 babies over the years and as a result, has clawed his species back from near-extinction, reports the Daily Mail.

In fact, in a genetic study carried out, it was discovered that Diego is the father of nearly 40 per cent of the offspring released into the wild on the island.
Diego is a Chelonoidis Hoodensis, a species of Galapagos tortoise found in the wild only on Espanola, which is in the Galapagos islands, off the coast of South America.

"He's a very sexually active male reproducer. He's contributed enormously to repopulating the island," said Washington Tapia, a tortoise preservation specialist at Galapagos National Park.
50 years ago, before the heroic tortoise shagged his species back from the brink of extinction, there were only two males and 12 females on the island.
Diego now lives at a tortoise breeding centre on nearby Santa Crus island, where he is still mating with his harem of six females - player.
Putting Diego's libido into perspective, around 2,000 tortoises have been released on the small island. More importantly, because of the program, and Diego's massive balls, the species is no longer facing extinction.
"I wouldn't say [the species] is in perfect health, because historical records show there probably used to be more than 5,000 tortoises on the island. But it's a population that's in pretty good shape - and growing, which is the most important," said Tapia.

All hope for another threatened species, Chelonoidis abingdoni, faded when its last known survivor died in 2012 at more than 100 years old. Known as Lonesome George, the last known male of his species had refused to breed in captivity for years - can you blame him?
For Diego at least, public displays of fucking affection are just part of his line of duty.
