Bare-faced Ibis

by all means, do it at home

they start about 4 PM, by 4:30 PM everyone is doing it, small with big, big with small, one big turtle orgy. That's the turtle secret. Two teenage girls were watching them in amazement for at least hal-an-hour. It was so funny... The one in front is the female and is called "Jabuta". At least I hope it is a female????? But only a turtle would know.
