==Name and taxonomy==
This species is highly distinctive and is now classified by itself, in the monotypic ''Chersina'' genus. While it differs considerably from all other tortoise species, its closest relatives, according to phylogenetic studies, are the tiny "padloper" (''Homopus'') tortoise species, with which it shares its southern African habitat.〔http://dpc.uba.uva.nl/ctz/vol81/nr03/art02〕
Internationally it is known by the two names of "angulate" and "bowsprit" tortoise. Locally in southern Africa however, it is uniformly known as the "angulate tortoise" in English, and as the "Rooipens skilpad" ("red-bellied tortoise") in Afrikaans.
