So much so that before the Chaco was officially described as Testudo chilensis, it was thought by some to be T. sulcata. Distinguishing male from female can be difficult. There is no distinctive difference until the tortoises are fully matured, and even then it can be difficult. The males tend to be smaller in adult size with slightly more elongate shells. In males, the plastron is usually concaved, and the tail is also usually longer. The anal scutes of the female normally tend to form a “U” shape where the anal scutes of the male will, for the most part, form a “V” in shape. All of these distinguishing characteristics usually become more pronounced as tortoises become more mature.

Chacos can be found almost throughout the entire range of what is known as the Gran Chaco (hence their common name). This is an area that extends from southern Bolivia. The Gran Chaco is sometimes described as the last frontier because of its large range and sparse human population. It is very similar to the habitat and conditions found in the American Southwest. The area is typified by grass plains with low-lying trees and shrubs. It is very dry for the most part with sporadic rainfall that is not seasonal, averaging about 12 inches a year. Temperatures are extreme, but they generally do not drop below freezing.
