Ibera tortoise

Spur-Thighed tortoise
Testudo Graeca Ibera

One of the most diverse and widely spread Mediterranean tortoises ranging from the Republic of Georgia, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq and Jordan.  Originally classed as a separate species -- Testudo Ibera (Pallas 1814) -- Testudo Ibera became Testudo Graeca Ibera  (Mertens 1946, Wermuth 1958), though it is still considered by many to be a biologically separate species and has remained TG Ibera due to lack of common agreement.
