Video Description
The African spurred tortoise, also known as the sulcata tortoise, is a large, sandy-colored tortoise native to the deserts of North Africa, identifiable by the large conical spurs on its hind legs from which it gets its name. It has a broad, oval, flattened, brownish-yellow shell, yellow-brown skin with large scales, and can grow to 24-30 inches long and weigh over 100 pounds. These tortoises are powerful burrowers, using their tunnels to escape the heat and conserve water, and are a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and the pet trade.
