Unknown Tortoise Species

After having drinks at Chillex (Puchong Puteri) and Bravo Mamak(Puchong) with friends. Then while fetching back someone home, while driving I notice a big shell on the road. It's a tortoise!. I quickly stopped aside my car and went on the road to look for the tortoise. When I came nearer, The tortoise quickly hide itself. So I decided to bring it back home due to dangerous crossing the road. It might end up being bang by car. I noticed that this tortoise it shell different that I never seen before. The shell is a curve shaped. I brought it back home for a temporary.


Then I curious about this tortoise species never seen before. I quickly posted at Tortoise thread at Lowyat forum. Once I woke up in the morning, I noticed that the tortoise already run away! I had put alot of heavy thing on top of net to prevent it run away from it. But I failed the task. Tortoise is good of running away from it cage. Forget about it, then I received a reply my post from forumer.
