Testudinidae The biggest tortoise of our country is found in brushy habitats mainly of the Southeastern part of Albania. It is also called the tortoise of mountain since it is mostly spread in the hilly and mountainous parts of the respective zones. It is Testudo marginata and in Balkan it is found mainly in Albania and Greece. In Albania it is mostly found in Saranda and Delvina where it is spread to the coast and hills of (Cape of Stilo, Ksamil, Saranda, Kakome, etc.). This species is also found in the neighboring zones of Northwestern Greece. The expeditions held during July August 2009 in Nemercka Mountain (Gjirokastra region) have revealed the presence of it in the latitude of 1100 m, which signals a new spreading area for Albania. The present endangered staus of species is VU.
