PROUD PAPA

The Friday File: This past Father’s Day, Goliath, a 135-year-old tortoise at Zoo Miami, welcomed his first hatchling. He is believed to be the oldest first-time father in recorded animal history. The mother of the hatchling, Sweet Pea, is believed to be 85-100 years old, which could make her and Goliath the oldest first-time parents in animal history. Talk about inspiring! Age really is just a number.
