Welcome to  Save Endangered Species! Here I will give you links to
awesome websites, and also cool interesting facts on how they lived.
If you want to learn more on how they lived, just click on the links
I have put on.

The Egyptian Tortoise is quite cute and interesting.  According to Country Facts:

The neck hiding Egyptian tortoise is also named the Kleinmann’s Tortoise or Leith’s Tortoise. It has the scientific name of Testudo kleinmanni and also covers the species of the Negev Tortoise. This tortoise was available in huge numbers across the Egyptian landscape but is now near extinction in Egypt and unfortunately on a global level as its numbers fall rapidly. The Egyptian Tortoise is a tiny tortoise found in the Northern Hemisphere. The female is actually larger then the male. The shell has very high domes and the colors are dull yellow, pale ivory, and light gold.

 I don't know about you, but in my opinion the Egyptian Tortoise is cute and interesting.
