Keeping the African Spurred Tortoise | 台北市立動物園資訊網

One of the most popular tortoises in the pet trade is the African spurred tortoise (Geochelone sulcata), because of its outgoing and animated personality along with its availability and hardiness in captivity. Due to the similarity of their common names and enlarged scales on their front legs, G. sulcata is occasionally confused with the spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca), leading many people to now refer to G. sulcata by an alternative common name: the sulcata tortoise. The “spurred”part of its name is derived from the large, pointed scales on the tortoise’s forelimbs.
