A 90-year-old turtle became a father for the first time in his life. See the baby turtles of a rare species

Animal world is full of wonders and we will never stop talking about them. Unfortunately, over years some animal species are getting less and less and end up being under a risk of extinction. And this story is about a 90-year-old turtle, who wasn’t an ordinary one. He was critically endangered and didn’t become a father in 90 years. But he was not meant to die without experiencing what it is like being a father.

That lucky turtle is Mr. Pickles. He made millions of people happy around the world. He became a father for the first time in his life when he was already 90 years old! That sounds insane to us, but as long as turtles live very long, it was still a normal number especially for his species. In an age where people already sense they are old, turtles still stay strong and active.
