Tortoise hatchlings make public debut at Philadelphia Zoo after mother sets world record

We are back with a big debut at the Philadelphia Zoo. For the first time, we're seeing four Galopagus tortoise hatchlings born to a 97year-old firsttime mom. It's never too late. Today's unveiling is getting national attention. Action's Maggie K joining us now live at the zoo with all of the excitement today. Maggie? Yes. These four sisters making their debut today. And while they may only be the size of your palm, they are making a massive impact. They do put little dots of nail polish on them. Four nearly identical, beautiful, bouncing babes. Well, scaly, hardshelled cuties. These sisters make up a genetic miracle, and they're making their debut at Philadelphia Zoo. The western Santa Cruz Island gopicus tortoise really only has a few thousand individuals left. So, these four babies are really important for the success of the species. 97year-old Mommy is a firsttime mom. With the help of her partner, Abrazo, they've created these tennis ballsiz hatchlings that will carry on the species for centuries to come. Mommy's amazing feet was featured exclusively on GMA this morning. That made her a world record holder, becoming the oldest known firsttime mother of her species. And especially since they're really endangered, that's really cool and it's a big accomplishment. Philadelphia Zoo has been working on this conservation effort for years with a number of eggs still under observation. It is our responsibility, our privilege, and our honor to be able to care for them. And the be to be able to have these babies is like a lifetime achievement award for us. And it helps that they're so charming. And I like to see the newborn babies. Yeah, everybody loves to see that. You see that red dot there? That's how they're telling these tortoises apart right now. But soon you'll be able to leave your mark on history as well. Philadelphia Zoo has a survey to have all of us name these young ladies. We're live at the zoo.
