Hermann's Tortoise

Hermann's Tortoise is a land-dwelling reptile native to Southern Europe, known for its domed, patterned shell and slow movements. It primarily feeds on grasses, leafy greens, and flowers. These tortoises are solitary and prefer habitats like scrublands, woodlands, and meadows. They regulate their body temperature by basking in the sun or seeking shade and hibernate during cold months. As a species often kept as pets, they require specific care, including proper diet, habitat, and temperature regulation, to ensure health and well-being. Their conservation status is of concern due to habitat loss and illegal collection.
