Named after naturalist Thomas Horsfield, they are scientifically classified as Agrionemys horsfieldii. Additionally, they are referred to by various other names such as Afghan Tortoise, Central Asian Tortoise, Four-clawed Tortoise, and Steppe Tortoise. Previously classified as Testudo horsfieldii, these tortoises are renowned for their love of digging, climbing, and consuming leafy greens.

Russian tortoises have gained popularity as pet reptiles due to their distinctive appearance, characterized by their digging claws, as well as their ease of care and relatively active nature. These qualities make them a suitable choice for reptile enthusiasts.
