Zhou's box turtle (Cuora zhoui) is aspecies ofturtle in thefamily Geoemydidae (formerly Bataguridae). The species is apparentlyendemic toChina.

Etymology

[edit]

Thespecific name,zhoui, is in honor of Chinese herpetologistZhou Jiufa.^[3]

Geographic range

[edit]

C. zhoui is only known from Chinese food market specimens, and from a relatively small number of individuals that are part of captive breeding programs in Germany (notably theMünster Zoo), Austria, and the United States.^[4] In December 2018, the known captive population numbered about 140 individuals, including 80 hatched at the Münster Zoo.^[5] It may be found in the forests of southeasternYunnan or westernGuangxi, although it has never been recorded in the wild.^[4]

Conservation status

[edit]

The over-collection of turtles in Asia for food, medicinal purposes, and the pet trade industry are the primary causes of the decimation of this turtle's population. As of 2012, this species is considered to be critically endangered and in the middle of a conservation crisis.
