In a heartwarming display of wildlife conservation, the Philadelphia Zoo introduced four baby Galapagos tortoises, born to a remarkable pair of parents estimated to be nearly 100 years old. This event marks a significant milestone as the mother tortoise, at 97 years old, has set a world record as the oldest first-time mom of her species. These hatchlings are particularly special, as they represent the first Galapagos tortoise births at the zoo in over 150 years. Zoo officials celebrated this unprecedented event, emphasizing the rarity and importance of these critically endangered creatures. The public is invited to help name the new arrivals, further engaging the community in wildlife preservation efforts.
