Wing I can't tell a nose from a 'profile'.. get me one like I showed - directly above.

The term "cherryhead" is nonsense.. they are only from different locations. And what separates those locations? Mountains.. rivers.. or "boundary lines"?

A hybrid is crossing 2 different species. An integrate is crossing sub-species. And since part of Brazil IS North of the Amazon we get integrates often. A G. carbonaria is a redfoot.. regardless of where it comes from. The jury is still out on whether they are sub-species from "North".. "East".. or "South". And what are we going to do with those that exist "outside" South America? - ( introduced by man.. you know.. a tortoise's best friend )

So to answer your Q?'s -

You have redfoot tortoises with "Brazilian" blood in them.
