The Radiated Tortoise is a species native to the dry forests and scrublands of Madagascar. It is known for its striking shell, which features a pattern of yellow and black radiating lines. This unique appearance helps it blend into its environment, providing camouflage from predators. Radiated Tortoises are herbivorous, primarily feeding on grasses, fruits, and flowers. They are considered critically endangered due to habitat loss and illegal poaching for the pet trade. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their natural habitat and ensure the survival of this remarkable species.
