| Abstract |
|
Testudinidae In Măcin Mountains National Park (Romania) lives an extremely large male of spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca), whose measured curvilinear carapace length is 37.5 cm. We estimated a body weight of 4.8 kg from the regression equation weight-carapace length based on the log-transformed data of 100 males from the same population. This proves to be the largest spur-thighed tortoise male ever reported in the wild.
