Heartwarming Moment: 70-Year-Old Mother Turtle Rejoices at the Sight of Her Eight Newly Hatched Babies After a Decade of Waiting ‎

 

A 70-year-old giant tortoise in ‘peak physical condition’ has fathered a whopping eight baby Giant Galapagos tortoises.

Dirk, named after porn star Dirk Diggler from Boogie Nights, mated with three females he shares a pen with in Crocodiles of the World in Oxfordshire

The arrival of the eight babies at Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton is a huge boost to the conservation status of the giant Galapogos tortoise which is an endangered species

Charlie then laid two more eggs fertilised by Dirk, who is said to be in peak physical condition, and these have recently hatched.

The arrival of the eight babies at Crocodiles of the World in Brize Norton is a huge boost to the conservation status of the giant Galapogos tortoise which is an endangered species.

There are now about 15,000 individuals left in the world compared to 200,000 in the 19th century.

Shaun Foggett, founder and director at Crocodiles of the World, said: ‘The first two hatchlings were Charlie’s back in March, then we hatched four from Isabella in July, and we’ve just had another two from Charlie’s eggs.
