Egyptian Tortoise

Kleinmann's tortoise (Testudo kleinmanni), often called Egyptian tortoise and occasionally Leith's tortoise. It is a critically endangered neck-hiding tortoise. Once more widespread, its numbers are now dwindling. The species is extinct in Egypt, and global extinction is a looming threat unless more actions are taken to protect this species. Kleinmann's tortoise is the smallest tortoise in the northern hemisphere. Female tortoises are larger than the males; males are more slender and have a longer tail.
