Ryofire Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Astrochelys, or the radiated tortoise as it is better known by is crittically endangered. I was planning a trip to the Bronx Zoo next time I go back to New York City, and saw that this was one of the animals there. I was wondering to myself why do they call it, "radiated?"

Ducati Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 My guess is because lines radiate from points on its shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
