Now, since this fellow, Goliath, is reported to be 135 years old, how do they know this is his first...uhh...child?
But I wouldn't want to call him out on it, though.
You Wanna Go?
But turns out, maybe they do know this is his first.
According to Goliath’s official record, he hatched on the island of Santa Cruz in the Galapagos on June 15, 1890. He arrived at the Bronx Zoo in 1929 and moved to Zoo Miami in 1981.
He has bred with several different females during his time at Zoo Miami, but he has never sired an offspring.
Anyway, I guess Goliath likes 'em young; the new hatchling’s mother, Sweet Pea, is estimated to be between 85 and 100 years old.
But I guess old friendships are the best friendships.....
Happy birthday and Father's Day, Goliath.
