AT 134 YEARS OLD, GOLIATH THE GIANT TORTOISE BECOMES A DAD FOR THE FIRST TIME!
Why this is good news
It’s never too late to become a parent.
At an incredible 134 years old, Goliath, a giant Galápagos tortoise at Zoo Miami in Florida, has officially become a first-time father! 🐢❤️
Weighing more than 500 pounds, Goliath spent years trying to reproduce before finally achieving this remarkable milestone.
His longtime companion, Sweet Pea, believed to be around 100 years old, laid eight eggs. Following 128 days of incubation, one tiny tortoise emerged, making history as the first Galápagos tortoise successfully hatched at Zoo Miami.
The healthy newborn is now being raised in a carefully monitored, protected environment as it continues to grow.
The extraordinary birth has even inspired Zoo Miami to pursue a Guinness World Record, potentially recognizing Goliath as the oldest first-time father ever documented.
Proof that it’s never too late to become a dad! 🐢🥹
