Angonoka tortoise

The angonoka tortoise (''Astrochelys yniphora'') is a critically endangered species of tortoise endemic to Madagascar. It is also known as the angonoka, ploughshare tortoise, Madagascar tortoise, or Madagascar angulated tortoise.〔
==Taxonomy==
This species was originally described in 1885 by French zoologist Léon Vaillant, who proposed it as the species ''Testudo yniphora'' based on the distinguished shape of the anterior part of the plastron.
The angonoka tortoise (''A. yniphora'') and the radiated tortoise (''A. radiata'') are the only species in the genus ''Astrochelys''. ''Astrochelys'' is attributed to John Edward Gray, who used the name in his 1873 book ''Hand-list of the specimens of shield reptiles in the British Museum''. The parent family for ''Astrochelys'' is Testudinidae, the tortoise family.
The name ''angonoka'' comes from the Malagasy word used as the local name of the species. The alternative common name, ploughshare tortoise, refers to the appearance of the gular scute of the plastron.
