Flat-backed spider tortoise

Flat-backed spider tortoise (''Pyxis planicauda''), more commonly known as the flat-tailed tortoise, is a turtle that belongs to the testudinidae family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arkive.org/flat-shelled-spider-tortoise/pyxis-planicauda/ )〕 The various common names for this small tortoise usually refer to the noticeably flattened nature of its oblong upper-shell or its tail.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arkive.org/flat-shelled-spider-tortoise/pyxis-planicauda/ )
The flat-backed spider tortoise is endemic to the west coast of Madagascar, between the Monrondava and Tsiribihina rivers. Due to the specifications of its habitat, the flat-backed spider tortoise is classified as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arkive.org/flat-shelled-spider-tortoise/pyxis-planicauda/ )
== Description ==
The flat-backed spider tortoise receives its name from its distinctive physical appearance. Its upper-shell (carapace) and tail are outstandingly flatter than the common tortoise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arkive.org/flat-shelled-spider-tortoise/pyxis-planicauda/ )〕 Its carapace is patterned, with each scute ranging in color from light brown to yellow center and a dark brown to black outline. In older tortoise, an additional yellow border can be seen that surrounds the dark outline. Yellow rays extend outwards from the center of each scute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arkive.org/flat-shelled-spider-tortoise/pyxis-planicauda/ )〕 Scutes along the borders of the shell (marginal) are usually dark in color, surrounded by a yellow band. The lower shell (plastron) usually appears to be yellow in color, with scattered dark spots or rays. The limbs are covered with scales that range from yellow to brown in color. The head, on the other hand, is usually darker in color (ranges from dark brown to black, with some yellow markings).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arkive.org/flat-shelled-spider-tortoise/pyxis-planicauda/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.turtlepuddle.org/health/anatomy.html )
