Namaqualand Tent Tortoise
Similar to the Bushmanland tent tortoise, very little is known about the life history of this species, and few studies have been performed. Because they occur primarily in the winter rainfall parts of the Namaqualand region, it can be assumed that they would include a variety of succulent plants in their diet, especially during the drier times of the year.
