Zoo Miami's oldest animal, a 135-year-old Galapagos tortoise named Goliath, has become a father for the first time, marking a historic first hatchling for the zoo.

Not only is this the first offspring for Goliath, but it is also the first time in the history of Zoo Miami that a Galapagos tortoise has hatched. He arrived at the Bronx Zoo on 23 July, 1929, and finally came to Zoo Miami on 30 July,

Goliath had been paired with several female tortoises before, in hopes of producing a hatchling, but the process wasn't successful until earlier this month.
