"Leopard tortoises are found in the savannas of eastern and southern Africa, from Sudan to the southern Cape. It is the only member of the genus Stigmochelys, but in the past it was commonly placed in Geochelone instead. This chelonian is a grazing species of tortoise that favors semi-arid, thorny to grassland habitats, It is, however, also found in some regions featuring a higher level of precipitation." - Tortoise Trust(陸龜保育基金會)
