context_page_description: Zhou's box turtle is a species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae. Apparently endemic to China, it is only known from Chinese food market specimens to date, and from a relatively small number of individuals that are part of captive breeding programs in China, Germany, and the United States. In December 2018, the known captive population numbered about 140 individuals, including 80 hatched at the Münster Zoo. It may be found in the forests of southeastern Yunnan or western Guangxi, although it has never been recorded in the wild.
