The Leopard Tortoise (Geochelone pardalis) is a large and attractively marked tortoise which has a wide distribution in sub-Saharan Africa. In this species males may attain a greater size than females, a characteristic shared with certain other members of the genus Geochelone, including Galapagos tortoises. Large examples may be 60 cm (over 2 feet) long and weigh over 35 kg (about 80 lbs.)This tortoise favours semi-arid, thorny to grassland habitats. (Source: Tortoise Trust Web)
