#CapCutThe angonoka tortoise, also known as the Ploughshare tortoise, is one of the rarest tortoise species globally, found only in Madagascar. They're known for their striking high-domed shell with intricate yellowish patterns. These tortoises have a slow growth rate, taking up to 15 years to reach sexual maturity, and can live for over a century. Unfortunately, they face severe threats from habitat destruction and illegal wildlife trade, making them critically endangered with only a few hundred individuals left in the wild. Conservation efforts aim to protect these remarkable creatures through breeding programs and habitat preservation initiatives.
