If you are a Chelonoidis hoodensis tortoise, there's a 40 percent chance that Diego may be your dad.。
Diego the tortoise is over 100 years old, 175 pounds, and thanks to his high sex drive, the father of about 800 children.。

Diego is a Chelonoidis hoodensis, a species found primarily in Espanola, an island in the Galapagos archipelago. Approximately 2,000 tortoises reside on the island – 800 of which are fathered by Diego. That's 40 percent of the total species' population. 。
As reported by Yahoo via AFP, Diego and six female tortoises reside at a tortoise breeding center on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos. While two other male tortoises are also supposed to help with repopulation, Diego is clearly picking up most of the slack.。

Sadly, the six female tortoises that Diego shares an enclosure with aren't getting the same recognition as Diego.。
The Daily Mail writes, "A sex-mad tortoise which is over 100 years old has single-handedly saved his species from extinction." 。

Hopefully Diego helps his baes dig their nests and take care of the eggs while they're waiting to hatch.。Hopefully Diego helps his baes dig their nests and take care of the eggs while they're waiting to hatch. 。[。
