The marginated tortoise (Testudo marginata) is found in Greece, Italy and the Balkans in southern Europe. It is the largest European tortoise, reaching a weight of up to 11 lb and a length of 14 inches typically. The posterior end of the shell has a saw-like formation, flanged outward like a bell. The marginated tortoise is herbivorous, can hibernate for the winter and is typically a good starter tortoise due to it's medium size and vegeterian diet.
