My friend Terri from Steel Magnolias sent me an email to check out the zoo porn video that Dorky Dad posted on his blog. Of course I zipped right over to get me some more animal porn. Turns out that Dorky Dad was at the EXACT same zoo at the EXACT same time and saw the EXACT same turtle porn that we saw. We were on the other side of the fence from where he was but what a freaky coincidence. When I’m out in public I tend to look around at people and wonder if any of them are a blogger. It’s too funny to think that I was standing so close to a blogger that I read.
Here’s the video he captured because I know you all want to see it. Don’t pretend you don’t because all you have to do is click the “play” button and no one will ever know you did. What would have been really funny is if he had panned to the right a bit for a view of me intently watching animal porn.
Make sure you visit Dorky Dad and read his zoo porn post. I was cracking up at his version of his wife’s explanation of what the turtles were doing. I told my kids that the turtle on top was mad at the other turtle and that’s why it was on top and making angry sounds. My sister was disappointed at my response and that I missed an opportunity to educate my nine year old. She reminded me that we got our sex education from a cousin before we were nine. Good thing my sis wasn’t with us because I can see her explaining that the male turtle was putting his penis in the female’s vagina to make a baby. Then my oldest would ask if her mom and dad do that. My sister would respond yes, that’s how they made you and Madeline would cry ewwwwwwwww! Note to self to not take my sister with us to the zoo.

OMG … I am still in shock that this was the same “incident!!”
How funny is that!!!
Funny that Dorky Dad video’d it…
What a small world it is in the blogosphere!!
When I was a kid, we saw two pigs “makin’ meatloaf” (a term that JennyHaHa uses for this kind of thing) and my parents didn’t say a word!!!! Not a word, they just wisked us away.

OK, that is just flat-out weird. And of course I had to video the event. That’s exactly why I bring my video camera to the zoo.

That is too funny! I remember once I saw something similar happening with ducks in our pond. I ran to get my dad because I was sure one duck was “drowning” the other.
He laughed and said they were just playing around….and we left it at that!

I don’t know if anyone else is getting this… But… When I clicked over to read your entry (for the porn of course) The top image is blocked saying hotlinking not allowed… So - just thought I’d let you know something’s up with your header.

LOL!! I’ll have to check out DD’s blog, too. What zoo was this? About 20 years ago I was at the San Deigo zoo with a friend - must have been about the same time of year - and the turtles were going at it. Some little kids next to us asked what they were doing. Mom said they were wrestling and dad said, “Yeah. Let’s go wrestle, hon.” LOL
And who knew turtles could make those sounds???

I have to admit I am with your sister on this one, my kid’s have seen this up close and personal because we have two dog’s that we breed and they know it is about making babies. There is a really good book available for young children (my friend recommended it for my kids- she is a psychologist so I trust that she made a good call). It is:
Where Did I Come From?
by Peter Mayle
You can get it on Amazon for about $10. I believe honesty is the best policy when it comes to my kids, I rather learn this at home from us than from other kids by experimenting- when I was a kid, a lot of my friends were doing that. Sad to say, but it is true. Kids today are even more curious and if we can’t talk to our own children, they will try and learn things from their peers. I prefer my kid’s to not get info from other kid’s.
The zoo thing would be a good experience in explaining it. You could say “they are reproducing, which means they are trying to have young to keep their population up”. Or in terms your child will understand. We use the word mating or breed instead of making it seem sexual. There is ways to go about this without it seeming “dirty”.

Too funny. What a coinky-dink to both be at the zoo seeing the same animal porn.
Though I would have been armed with my camera (and likely would have filmed it because that is how I am), this is just why I’m jonesing for a camera/vid capable cell phone. You just never know when you are going to see something so weird, unbelievable or funny that you NEED a picture or video of it.
