Goliath, a Galapagos tortoise at Zoo Miami, is officially the world’s oldest first-time father for any animal in recorded history, the Guinness World Records confirmed.

The desert tortoise was added to the endangered species list in 1990. Shortly after, grazing permits were restricted or rescinded in DWMA zones across Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California.

Congratulations are in order for Mommy, a Galápagos tortoise and a longtime resident of the Philadelphia Zoo, who recently became a first-time mother at the estimated age of 100.
