Bell's hinge-back tortoise
PU1158
Coming from Togo, a hinge will appear when the turtle is around 5/6 years. It is the only one to have this hinge in a shell, at the level of the hind legs. It is therefore not an "accident of life" but an oval shell typical of one of the 6 subspecies of Kinyx. Of course, she lived in an animal park in Italy before disappearing prematurely, since she can reach 23cm.
