Belly of the Egyptian tortoise. Kleinmann's tortoise is the smallest tortoise in the Northern Hemisphere. [5] Females are larger than males; males are more slender and have a longer tail. [6] The carapace has a high dome, and ranges in color from ivory to pale gold to dark brown to pink or dull yellow. [6]
The others do not generally survive well in captivity unless some effort is made to supply them with their natural food, that is, endemic plants from the Cape/Karoo regions. [2] Many are taken from their natural habitat each year, and subsequently die as a result, as they do not readily adapt to typical captive diets and environment change. [ 2 ]
The genus Chersus has been proposed to unite the Egyptian and marginated tortoises which have certain DNA sequence similarities, [4] but their ranges are (and apparently always were) separated by their closest relative T. graeca and the open sea and thus, chance convergent haplotype sorting would better explain the biogeographical discrepancy.

In captivity, they eat a variety of wildflowers, however care must be taken regarding which are made available, as some flowers such as buttercups are toxic to them. Certain plants such as dandelion and kale are high in oxalic acid, which can build up over time causing renal failure, it is therefore important to carefully monitor their diet and ...
In captivity, Komodo dragons (Varanidae) have reproduced by parthenogenesis. Parthenogenetic species are suspected to occur among chameleons , agamids , xantusiids , and typhlopids . Some reptiles exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination (TDSD), in which the incubation temperature determines whether a particular egg hatches as male or ...
