Too hot to nest? In a hot summer the Tortoise Chersina Angulata can switch from nesting to facultative viviparity
(Frontiers Media, 2022)In a captive colony of Chersina angulata in Cape Town, South Africa, we observed in 2015/16 retention of the last egg clutch inside the female until the hatching stage was reached, conforming to the generally accepted ... -
