    13. GREAT GALAPAGOS TORTOISE

    Since great Galapagos tortoises aren't quite chivalrous or fast enough for dueling, males win over females by measuring necks. When two males are vying for a mate, they will stretch out their necks as far as they can. The longest wins, so size matters in the tortoise world. (Save Galapagos)

if you are searching for answers, look to Jesus Christ - the only way to be saved from hell. Read the Gospel of John first. repent.

Bonobos are in fact apes. An quick way to tell if it's an ape or monkey is tails. Apes do not have tails! So if the primate has a tail, it's definitely not an ape. That doesn't mean it is for sure a monkey though!! There is a little thing called prosimians but let's not get into that LOL!
