| Abstract |
|
Testudinidae Two tortoises with mixed characters between Testudo hermanni boettgeri and T. graeca ibera were discovered during a trip in “Canaraua Fetii Forest” Mixed Nature Reserve (southern Dobrudja, Romania). A hybridization event was suspected. According to external qualitative morphological characters, our preliminary results suggest two morphologically anomalous T. h. boettgeri. The two specimens displayed mostly typical T. h. boettgeri morphological characters, but also anomalous characters, which are typical for T. g. ibera (e.g. the existence of horny spurs on the internal part of the thigh).
