sometimes the male's will actually try to copulate with a rock

the male when they are mating produce this very grave sound that you can hear from many miles away

YouTube Video Description

Giant tortoises rarely make sounds, but the sound of a male giant tortoise mating is unmistakable. After mating, a female tortoise will walk up to ten miles from the mating site, after which she'll typically lay 12-17 eggs. Video by Andres Cruz aboard the National Geographic Endeavour II in Santa Cruz Highlands, Galápagos.
