Posted by: zovick at Wed May 14 16:56:27 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by zovick ] Hi. I am aware of one female tortoise which had to have its ovaries removed back in the late 1980's and is still alive today. This was a female Madagascar Ploughshare Tortoise on which the Honolulu Zoo staff was performing artificial insemination in an attempt to produce babies. The ill-fated and ridiculous idea resulted in one live birth, but one of the two male tortoises died from an infected penis, and this female lost the ability to reproduce forever due to its ovaries becoming infected and subsequently having to be removed. | ||
