  这双小家伙出在去年11月中旬生于斯洛文尼亚,它们“共享有”五条腿(比“正常”情况多一条),近日在日利纳对外展示。

  尽管目前这只乌龟体积尚小,但日后它会长得很大,事实上,它是同类物种中体积第三大的龟类,仅次于加拉帕戈斯陆龟,亚达伯拉龟。

  The African spurred tortoise, which in Latin is Geochelone sulcata (geo - earth; chelone - tortoise; and sulcus - furrow (in reference to the distinctive scales)), is the biggest mainland tortoise in the world。

  非洲盾臂龟是世界上最大型的陆地龟。
