Genus: Indotestudo

The genus Indotestudo consists of medium-sized tortoises native to South and Southeast Asia. These tortoises are known for their domed shells, distinct yellowish-brown coloration, and relatively small size compared to other tortoise species. Typically found in forested or scrubland habitats, Indotestudo species are primarily herbivorous, feeding on a diet of grasses, fruits, and vegetation. Their conservation status varies by species, with habitat destruction and poaching being major threats to their survival in the wild.
