Identification femelle

Going to have to see her from a plastron (underside)photo. How big is this specimen? Looks rather large. Males Dont get near the size of females in any of the manouria. However they do take a many decades to fully mature.

I not able to tell. What I learn from some of the experts here is to look at the tail.

This is a beautiful specimen. WOW! ! ! ! !

Vous penses quoi de cette animal ?

 

[mikeh]

The animal in the post #1 appears to be female.
The animal in the post #7 appears to be male.
The male has a considerable under bite along with a hint of pinched rear costal (C4) scutes possibly indicating something is/was lacking in the nutrition/husbandry.

.......Nothing is lacking from this tortoises diet. The"pinched" look is normal and is described in the original description of Manouria. It has a birth defect of the lower jaw. It is a male. Vic Morgan
