Hi! So recently I have been mating my pair of Russian Tortoises (They are separated now, don't worry) I have noticed that after the male mounts the female, he makes a high pitched squealing noise (This didn't come as a surprise I researched it ahead of time). And Tortoises are generally quiet, so my question is, what gives them an idea to make a noise when mating, is it to assert dominance, is it to try to subdue the female into mating with him? I'm just wondering WHY they do it. Not WHEN they do it.
