Man can have great children. Yes, there are risk factors as reproductive cells undergo morphological changes. But that does not make them infertile.
Local press reports in India indicate that Mr. Ramjit Raghav was a father for the first time at the age of 94 (this in 2010). In Brazil, there are those who guarantee that they met parents with more than 100 years in the north -east. However, there is no evidence of this story.

They are, in fact, impressive numbers, but none of them approach this case what we will talk about. One of the discs in the wild is the turtles, which naturally live more than us.
This is the case of a galapagos turtle called Goliath, who has just achieved a remarkable feat: he became Daddy for the first time in 135!
A father of respect
The episode took place earlier this month at the Miami Zoo in the United States.
It is noteworthy that Goliath had already paired with several women throughout his life at the Zoo.
He, however, was not a father so far.
Biologists estimate that the historic Daddy was born between 1885 and 1890, that is, it would be between 135 and 140 years.
It is a native of the island of Santa Cruz in the archipelago of Galapagos in Ecuador.
He arrived in the United States in 1929 and remained at the Broxn Zoo in New York for more than 50 years.
In 1981, the Giant of the 234 Pupi moved to Miami and has been there since then.
As we said, his paternity was very celebrated, because this is the first puppy of Goliath.
It is also the first captive puppy born in the livestock born at the Miami Zoo.
The place, by the way, has already asked Guinness World to official Goliath’s official recognition as the “first father in history”.
And the mother of the little puppy is not behind.
Experts estimate that sweet pea female is between 85 and 100 years old.
According to the zoo published on its social networks, the puppy, which still has its name, seems healthy and full of energy.
Too bad that should not spend much time with his parents, and this is a feature of the species.
In the wild environment, galapagos turtle puppies are independent of birth and parents simply ignore their young people.

A scientific victory
Biologists celebrated the birthday of a gallopose turtle. This is due to the fact that the species is very risk of extinction.
The population of these animals suffered a drastic reduction in the 19th century, after the arrival of human explorers and other invasive species in the Ecuadorian archipelago.
That is, all puppies are important to keep this historical giant. And they are historical real. The species lives much more than 100 years. In 2006, for example, the female Harriet died at a zoo in Australia. Scientists say he was 175 years old and pray the legend that would have been collected by Charles Darwin himself!

The truth or not, the fact is that we face one of the longest animals in nature. More cases like this from Pope Goliath or Mommy mother, who had a puppy in April at the Philadelphia Zoo.
It is wild life after its natural course. Whenever man does not disturb.
