Think it’s too late to start a family at 50? How about having four little ones? Now imagine doing that at nearly 100 years old! Meet Mommy and Abrazzo, two endangered Galapagos tortoises at the Philadelphia Zoo who’ve just become proud parents to four healthy hatchlings. These adorable babies mark the first successful hatching of their species in the history of America’s oldest zoo. Mommy, at an impressive near-century mark, is believed to be the oldest first-time mother of her kind. Mommy arrived at the zoo way back in 1932, while the proud father, Abrazzo, joined her in 2020. Together, they’ve quickly become beloved celebrities among zoo visitors. Their joyful milestone isn’t just heartwarming—it’s also a wonderful win for conservation efforts to protect their endangered species.
Congratulations to Mommy and Abrazzo! It’s proof positive that age is just a number—especially when love and longevity team up. ❤️
