First-time mom. Although most species do not live to be 80 years old, this is the age at which the Nigrita tortoise first gave birth. An even luckier event, thinking that his species is endangered.
Nigrita is an 80-year-old Galapagos tortoise that lives in a zoo
The Galapagos tortoise, native to the islands of the same name, is the largest species of tortoise, weighing up to 900 pounds. They too can live for more than 150 years.
Unfortunately, the species was on the verge of extinction in the 1970s, with only ten individuals left in the wild.
He also makes big changes for his endangered species
Nigrita laid her first eggs this year. Most species do not live to be 80 years old, let alone give birth at that age, but this is perfectly normal for the species.
These turtles do not usually begin to reproduce until they are 40 years old. The Galapagos tortoise is known as one of the longest-lived animals on Earth.
By tortoise standards, Nigrita is in its heyday.
Whether the Galapagos tortoises can live up to 150 years is not long in coming. The species is endangered by greedy people։ hungry predators.
Nigrita is currently part of a zoo breeding program that makes her nine cubs even more special. Nigrita relies on such turtles to ensure the survival of its species.
