Giant tortoises typically find mates through a combination of visual displays and vocalizations. During the breeding season, males may engage in courtship behaviors such as head bobbing, vocalizing, and pushing or ramming other males to establish dominance. The scent of pheromones released by females can also play a role in attracting males. Once a male successfully attracts a female, they may engage in mating, which can last several hours.
