| Abstract |
|
Testudinidae The three primary species commonly referred to as star-patterned tortoises (Family Testudinidae) include the Indian Star Tortoise (Geochelone elegans), the Burmese Star Tortoise (Geochelone platynota), and the Radiated Tortoise (Astrochelys radiata). These three species are emphasized here. There are additional tortoises that may have star-like patterns on their shells. Some, but not all of these are also described or illustrated here.
