Hi Norma, these are pictures of a beautiful Eastern Hingeback, Kinixys zombensis. At one time, they were called Bell's hingeback, but in 2012, scientists determined that the animals along the coast in South Africa, Mozambique and Kenya should actually be their own unique species. They are one of the most striking of all the Kinixys.
