Too much sex is never good. Bert, a randy tortoise who lives at the Dinosaur Adventure Park in Norfolk, UK, has developed arthritis at just 22 following a string of wild sex sessions.
The African spurred tortoise now gets around with the help of wheels that have been strapped to his shell after his keepers noticed severe swelling in his rear legs, the Daily Mail reported.

The African spurred tortoise now travels around with the help of wheels strapped to his shell. He is the largest tortoise in the world to have wheels fitted.

During the two-month programme, Bert had sex with up to five females producing an unknown number of offspring.
