There is actually two ways to tell the gender of a Tortoise,that I know of.The 1st and easiest way is,to look at the belly of the tortoise.If it goes inward,it's male,and if the belly is just flat it's female.(Note:This only applys to certain species of Tortoises).The other way is,by tail length.If the tail is long,it's a male,but if the tail is short than it's a female.That's the ways I know of but,their could be more ways I don't know about. http://www.tortoisesupply.com/pages/Sexing-Your-Tortoise.html

The reason I brought that up is it's possible that some monsters in MH,could have some difference from another gender that we don't know about.
