Asian box turtle
Asian box turtles are turtles of the genus ''Cuora'' in the family Geoemydidae. There are about 12 species.〔Spinks, P. Q., et al. (2012). (Species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships in the critically endangered Asian box turtle genus ''Cuora''. ) ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'' 63(3), 656-67.〕 The keeled box turtle (''Pyxidea mouhotii'' syn. ''Cuora mouhotii'') is often included in this genus, or separated in the monotypic genus ''Pyxidea''. Genus ''Cuora'' is distributed from China to Indonesia and the Philippines.〔
== Description ==
''Cuora'' species are characterized by a low (e.g. ''Cuora pani'') to high (e.g. ''Cuora picturata'') domed shell, which usually has three keels on the carapace. They are reddish, yellowish, brown, grey, and/or black in color. Some species have bright yellow, black, orange, or white stripes down the length of their keels. Their body color is highly variable, but usually very intense. Most species show stripes of variable color down either side of their heads, which usually meet at the nose.
