12 Youth vs Maturity, Who Gets The Girl

It's mating season for turtles. A female was leading 2 competing males on a merry chase. One male with bright red ears is young. The other male is elderly with his red ears faded to black. Who will win? Youth or experienced maturity? The female actually seems to be smirking in several of the shots. The young stud seemed to have the edge when this began but the old guy took over the lead at the end before they all disappeared from sight. Photos are numbered in the order it happened.
