Cuora Picturata
The southern Vietnamese box turtle (''Cuora picturata'') is endemic to the southern mountainous regions of Vietnam, and possibly also occurring in extreme eastern Cambodia and southern Laos. It is known only from Khanh Hoa and southern Phu Yen provinces, but may also occur in eastern Dak Lak and northern Ninh Thuan provinces. This species was initially described as a subspecies of ''Cuora galbinifrons'', but was shown to be genetically distinct. This is the same for '' Cuora galbinifrons bourreti'', which is much closely related to ''Cuora galbinifrons'', though, in osteology, genetics and morphology than is ''Cuora picturata'' to either one. Thus, this variety probably truly deserves species status. This species has the highest-domed carapace of all ''Cuora species'', the shape resembling a conquistador Conquistadors (, ) or conquistadores (, ; meaning 'conquerors') were the explorer-soldiers of the Spanish and Portuguese Empires of the 15th and 16th centuries.

Cuora Galbinifrons
The Indochinese box turtle, Vietnamese box turtle, or flowerback box turtle (''Cuora galbinifrons'') is a species of Asian box turtles from China (Hainan and Guangxi), northern and central Vietnam, Laos, and possibly northeastern Cambodia. It is found in high altitude woodland where it tends to hide in the undergrowth. There is considerable confusion as to the taxonomy of this species with several subspecies being recognised by some authorities. and not by others. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as " critically endangered". Taxonomy The northern Vietnamese box turtle ''C. g. galbinifrons'' was described by Bourret in 1939, but it took nearly 40 years until the first specimens were imported to Europe and the United States. This subspecies occurs in extreme southern Guangxi Province, China, northern Vietnam, and probably northern Laos and on Hainan Island (China). The population from Hainan was once considered to represent a di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cuora Galbinifrons Bourreti
Bourret's box turtle (''Cuora bourreti''), also known commonly as the central Vietnamese flowerback box turtle and the Indochinese box turtle, is a species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae. The species is endemic to Southeast Asia. Geographic range ''C. bourreti'' is found in central Vietnam and adjacent Laos. Habitat The preferred natural habitat of ''C. bourreti'' is forest, at altitudes of . Description ''C. bourreti'' may attain a straight-line carapace length of . Adult females and adult males are about the same size. Hatchlings have a straight-line carapace length of . Taxonomy Although Stuart and Parham (2004) argued that ''C. bourreti'' was quite distinct, possibly enough to justify its elevation to a full species, osteologic studies have shown that it probably better remains as a subspecies of '' C. galbinifrons''. This is further substantiated by the finding of intergradation zones in north-central Vietnam, where hybrid populations of ''C. g. galbinifrons'' and '' ...

Conquistador
Conquistadors (, ) or conquistadores (, ; meaning 'conquerors') were the explorer-soldiers of the Spanish and Portuguese Empires of the 15th and 16th centuries. During the Age of Discovery, conquistadors sailed beyond Europe to the Americas, Oceania, Africa, and Asia, colonizing and opening trade routes. They brought much of the Americas under the dominion of Spain and Portugal. After arrival in the West Indies in 1492, the Spanish, usually led by hidalgos from the west and south of Spain, began building an American empire in the Caribbean using islands such as Hispaniola, Cuba, and Puerto Rico as bases. From 1519 to 1521, Hernán Cortés waged a campaign against the Aztec Empire, ruled by Moctezuma II. From the territories of the Aztec Empire, conquistadors expanded Spanish rule to northern Central America and parts of what is now the southern and western United States, and from Mexico sailing the Pacific Ocean to the Philippines. Other conquistadors took over the Inca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
