Speed the 150-year-old tortoise dies at San Diego Zoo

[suffragette]

44. This was @ 25 years ago.

It was at the end of the day.
We'd taken a trip down there and had been running late all day, but still went even though it was close to closing time.
Many of the animals were tucked away for the night, except for the chickens which were everywhere, both inside and out of the exhibits. We spent much of our walk joking about the name of exhibit/chicken since the chickens were the only animals strutting around in many otherwise unoccupied exhibits. One exotic rooster attached himself to my (now ex)husband and followed us through most of the zoo.
So, we just saw the start of the courtship and mating.
They were still going at it when we left.
