Does my shell make you horney, Baby?

Flight delays as JFK airport runway taken over by turtles!
.
Dozens of randy turtles crawled onto a JFK airport runway Wednesday, delaying flights for over an hour, authorities said.

Port Authority workers rushed to the shell-covered runway about 8:30 a.m. and scooped up 78 diamondback terrapins that had left the waters of Jamaica Bay scouting a spot to breed, said Port Authority spokesman John Kelly.

So much for manmade facilities stifling nature, huh?

With all the hot-sheet motels around JFK, you would think they could've found a better place!
