4 or 5 claws/fingers/toes
i was just wondering how strange it is that some species of torts have 4 and others 5 , i wonder ???? evolution is weird considering the rest of them is similar ie....a head , a tail , 4 legs and a tortoise shell .

I think Horsfield is the only tortoise with 4 claws.Other species should be with 5.... Don't know why is that.
