That's the sound of a tortoise that is mating," Rydstrom told SF Gate. When it comes in the kitchen and it barks.

So when Rydstrom was making the rounds again this week for press junkets promoting his latest film, "Strange Magic," SF Gate's pop-culture critic Peter Hartlaub asked again about the tale of tortoise sex in "Jurassic Park," seeing as how we're getting another installment in the dinosaur action series with " Jurassic World" - due to hit theaters in June. Various other raptor noises in the movie were in fact recordings of horses breathing and annoyed geese. You've got to have plenty of time to sit around and watch and record them." "It's a mating tortoise! I recorded that at Marine World.the people there said, 'Would you like to record these two tortoises that are mating?' It sounded like a joke, because tortoises mating can take a long time. "It's somewhat embarrassing, but when the raptors bark at each other to communicate, it's a tortoise having sex," Rydstrom said. The vocalizations of the velociraptors in "Jurassic Park" weren't the recordings of angry animals, Rydstrom told Vulture in 2013, but in fact rather less intimidating reptiles getting it on. Gary Rydstrom, a Lucasfilm sound designer and now director of the new George Lucas movie " Strange Magic," was tasked with creating dozens of dinosaur sounds from scratch using animal noises.
