Egyptian Tortoise

The Egyptian Tortoise (Testudo kleinmanni) is an African species of tortoise which is critically endangered due to over collecting for the pet trade. It is extinct in the country of Egypt in north east Africa.
Their range is from Lybia to places beyond the Nile Delta. They live on the northern coast of the African continent, in desert and semi-desert locations.
The Egyptian tortoise is also known as the Kleinmann's tortoise and sometimes the Leith's tortoise.
They are the smallest tortoise species in the northern hemisphere and the second smallest in the world, second only to South Africa's Speckled Padloper (Homopus signatus), which is also known as the Cape tortoise.
