Distinction Between Northern and Southern Tortoises

Friday, July 22nd, 2011


There are a few major differences between the northern and southern tortoises. The northern form, or G.petersi, is usually smaller in size as adults. The color is also generally darker in the northern form. There are also some behavioral differences. Because the climate is not as harsh on the north, the northern tortoises are reported not to dig burrows as do the southern tortoises. This might explain the distinctive annular rings that are found on the tortoises from the north and not the south. Both groups go into an estivation period during harsh weather conditions, such as winter or extreme summers, but you really wouldn’t call it hibernation.

Sometimes eats other insects

AVERAGE LENGTH: 6 1/2 inches (16 cm)

NATIVE CLIMATE: Cool steppe, cool desert

NATURAL DISTRIBUTION: Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico

When antagonized this species of horned lizard is able to emit a fine stream of blood from its eyes; the blood can be projected up to 7 feet (2.1 m). This lizard can also puff out its body by filling itself with air. Such extreme defense mechanisms are necessary because the horned lizard, sometimes referred to as the “horned toad,” is a relatively small, non-aggressive lizard. The health of these lizards usually deteriorates quickly when the animals are kept in captivity due to difficult temperature and humidity.
