Of the five species of tortoise living in the mediterranean area, two have spurs on their thighs; Graeca and Horsfieldi. Of these two it is the Graeca that is commonly referred to as a "Greek" (graeca is Latin for Greek). What is the taxonomic name for the tortoise you refer to as the Mediterrean Spur-Thighed tortoise and what is it for what you call the Greek?
