Default New Quiz ending May 5th Midnight

No pictures this time

I will give a list of tortoises and you tell me at least one country (might be only one) they come from. Bonus points for any other countries you guess for that species (if there are any other countries )
There will also be a big bonus for the bonus tortoise If you list every country it comes from there will be a 100 point bonus.
Also with this quiz one point will be deducted for each wrong country (so no just throwing countries out there )
I will give half points for island tortoises if you give the island name but don't know the country.
No worrying about subspecies as I want to know where the species as a whole comes from

1 Horsfields tortoise-Testudo horsfieldii
2 Hermanns tortoise-Testudo hermanni
3 Forstens tortoise-Indotestudo forstenii
4 Impressed tortoise-Manouria impressa
5 Bowsprit tortoise-Chersina angulata
6 Pancake tortoise-Malacocherus tornieri
7 Marginated tortoise-Testudo marginata
8 Egyptian tortoise-Testudo kleinmanni
9 Plowshare tortoise-Astrochelys yniphora
10 African Spurred tortoise-Centrochelys sulcata
Bonus Tortoise
11 Spur-thighed tortoise-Testudo graeca

Let the fun begin

PM me your answers

Danny
