The call of the Aldabra tortoise (Geochelone gigantea) (Reptilia, Testudinidae)
Amphibia-Reptilia, 1981AbstractMating male Aldabra tortoises (Geochelone gigantea) emit loud, deep-pitched calls or "groans" while mounted. A bout of 34 groans was recorded and analyzed oscillographically and spectrographically. The sound energy occurs in periodic waves and there is no evidence of regularly pulsed energy. Calls are relatively stereotyped, with at least seven

Activity of the greater padloper,Homopus femoralis(Testudinidae), in relation to rainfall
African Zoology, 2012The greater padloper, Homopus femoralis, is largely endemic to South Africa. Its ecology remains unstudied, yet the efficient planning of field research is complicated by lack of data on its activity patterns. I studied a population in spring, summer and autumn 2008–2011, and found that H. femoralis was active (i.e.
