Red-Footed Tortoise are native to South America and Central America, starting from Panama throughout eastern Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Paraguay and northern Argentina. They are medium sized tortoises of around 30 cm in length, that have a dark brown to almost black carapace with yellowish borders and aureole. As their name implies, they have red or orange scales visible on their limbs and tail, sometimes present on their head as well. The way to differentiate males from females is that males are larger, their carapace is flatter and have a more developed 'hourglass' figure, have a longer and more muscular tail and their plastron is concave, while the female one is flat. | |||
Red-Footed Tortoises live in rainforests as well as in dry grasslands, like savanna areas where they can move without much trouble and finding protection in bushes and low trees. They are diurnal and may forage for most of the day, they also don't seem to move long distances or put effort in protecting their territory. They are omnivores, feeding mainly on fruits, leaves and flowers while also eating invertebrates and carrion. | |||
Red-Footed Tortoises become mature at around 5 years of age, and the mating ritual involves head motions on the part of the male, with some fights starting if the second tortoise is a male, but if it is a female, she will not move her head and they will start mating after confirming the coloration of the head is the correct one. Females deposit 2 to 15 eggs, with incubation lasting from 120 to 150 days. The eggs are usually deposited on nests that are buried underground by the female. | |||
|trivia=* They are popular as a pet, and have been introduced to parts of United States, but they do not appear to be established. | |||
