An amorous tortoise in Miami, Florida went to extraordinary lengths recently to get to a female on the other side of a low fence. <br /><br />Security camera footage shows "Tank" the sulcata tortoise using his bulky body to first move a seat nearer the wooden fence.<br /><br />Then, utterly deliberately, he climbs onto the item of furniture and drops off the other side of the fence onto the lawn where the female tortoise is standing. <br /><br />Tank's owner says that he isn't certain the reptile moved the seat deliberately nearer the fence because he's never managed to do it again.<br /><br />However, he is sure Tank knew what he was doing when he climbed onto the chair to get over the fence.
