: Yeah, right! The zoos know what they're doing!
: But of course the private sector doesn't...
: Also, did we import too many platynota, & that's why there's not enough left?

The private sector doesnt on this species! are there any caresheets of this species??!!!!
NO!
P.planicauda, wasnt realy know until this year! 2 Zoss have kept them and may�be 15 EXPERT Breeder with 20 or more years of tortoise experience,
nearly nothing is known about this species! so what will happe, 90-95% of the animals will die!
Platynota: i think we lost the change of getting any! easy reason: there arent realy any left!
No it wasnt our (breeders) fault! but in planicauda it is! nearly 5000 Pyxis have been exported from madagascar this year!
the overall population of planicauda was only estimated at around 5000! so,who brought this species to extinction?! the crazy money making exporters and importers! and of course us!
nearly like 100 years ago with the passenger pigeon and dozens of other species! Human will never learn!
