Thanks Wild girl

I have decided to post my quiz question as a riddle:

My genus is endemic to southern Africa and you will find me in the Kgalagadi, but not in Kruger.
My toes are clawed and my scientific name is derived from the Greek for “feathered-feet”, but I am not a bird!
At dawn and dusk, I will sing, but I am not a bird!
My song may attract a female, to whom I will give my burrow for her to lay a single egg, before she also departs.
Who am I...

Leopard Tortoise ?
