Galapagos tortoise hatchlings arrive at the Philadelphia Zoo

The Philadelphia Zoo's newest residents are four Western Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoise hatchlings. They were successfully bred and hatched at the zoo — a first in its 150-year history. The hatchlings began emerging in late February and will make their public debut April 23. All are female, and do not yet have names, though the zoo expects to announce how the public can help name them in the near future.
