Correct me if I am wrong, but that looks like an Elongated tortoise trying to mount the leopard, not a Russian. My first tortoise was an elongated and they will always have a place in my heart and my home. I have several now and the males sure can be pests when they are in breeding mode. My male "Dozer" was captive hatched in 1988 and he has been in my care since 1996. He is an awesome fellow.

Take care,
Jeff Port
