Its name is derived from the flat shape of its shell. It is the only member of the genus ''Malacochersus''. ==Description== The pancake tortoise has an unusually thin, flat, flexible shell, which is up to long.〔(Turtles of the World ) (CD-ROM), by Ernst, C.H., Altenburg, R.G.M. and Barbour, R.W. (February 2007).〕〔Connor, M.J. (1992) (Pancake Tortoise, Malacochersus tornieri ). Tortuga Gazette, 28(11): 1-3.〕 While the shell bones of most other tortoises are solid, the pancake tortoise has shell bones with many openings, making it lighter and more agile than other tortoises.〔(Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens ) (February 2007).〕 The carapace (top shell) is brown, frequently with a variable pattern of radiating dark lines on each scute (shell plate), helping to camouflage the tortoise in its natural dry habitat.〔〔〔 The plastron (bottom shell) is pale yellow with dark brown seams and light yellow rays,〔 and the head, limbs and tail are yellow-brown.〔 Its bizarre, flattened, pancake-like profile makes this tortoise a sought-after animal in zoological and private collections, leading to its over-exploitation in the wild.〔Kirkpatrick, D.T.
