In the U.S. we call this type of chelonian a turtle, however in other countries it may be called a tortoise. It is one of the Malaysian or Chinese box turtle species.

I think it's melanochelys tricarinata. A very rare Asian turtle. This turtle kind live semi aquatic but more on land. Bit I'm not an expert with this animals.
