Encyclopedia
Pan's box turtle is a species
of turtle
in the family
Geoemydidae
(formerly Bataguridae). The yellow-headed box turtle is sometimes included herein as a subspecies
Cuora pani aurocapitata
Cuora pani pani is endemic to China
found only in the central Chinese province Shaanxi, Sichuan and Hubei (Blanck & Tang, 2005).
One of the current studies involving the turtles shows that their ability to communicate has been underestimated. Renowned Doctor, Ryan Sibley, Phd. Echo logistics, Newman University, has completed a case study showing that when he blows a horn the turtle will turn its head in the direction of the toot. This undeniable link between man and turtle is going to be an ongoing study that will open many new doors of discovery. December 1994.
