Morphological characteristics of the fold-backed tortoise of Lopati
Luo The carapace of the Patty's fold-back tortoise is not large, and the patterns on its carapace are very obvious and beautiful. However, there are not many of them, and they are relatively similar in appearance to other fold-back tortoises, so there are not many people raising them.
The shell length of the Lopati fold-back tortoise usually does not exceed 20 centimeters, but some can reach 22 centimeters. Newborn size: shell length 3.5 ~5.0 cm. Males and females are generally distinguished by their tails. Males have thicker tails, while females have shorter ones. Males have concave plastrons. The three kinds of fold-backed tortoises (K.lobatsiana), K.speki and bell-patterned tortoises (K.belliana) are very different from their extensions. It's hard to tell the difference.
There is very little and incomplete research data on the Lopati fold-back tortoise. It is only known to be scattered in South Africa and Botswana. However, they are basically a species of tortoise that belongs to the Aiga state. Their habitat overlaps with that of the Serrata bush tortoise (Psammobates oculiferus). Probably the location of their upper habitat belongs to the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. , typical habitats of desert and semi-desert climate have little rainfall and great changes.
