Move over, ‘Paw Patrol’ dads—there’s a new Father’s Day legend in town! Meet Goliath, Zoo Miami’s 235-kilogram Galapagos tortoise, who just celebrated his 135th birthday and his first-ever Father’s Day. Talk about a double win! 🎂👨👦
This gentle giant, who’s been roaming Earth since the 1880s (yes, before cars were mainstream 🚗💨), became a first-time dad earlier this month. Zoo officials called it a \“milestone for conservation,\” highlighting how rare these moments are for one of the world’s longest-living species.
Galapagos tortoises like Goliath can live over 150 years, but their slow-paced lives make every hatchling extra special. 🐢💚 Fans flooded social media with love for the ancient reptile, dubbing him \“#DadGoals\” for the ages.
Next time you’re in Miami, swing by and say hi—Goliath’s probably got parenting tips older than your great-grandpa’s vinyl collection. 🎶
