Two Galapagos giant tortoises have hatched (including the world’s first albino):
Rare albino Galapagos tortoise emerges
“This is the first time in the world that an albino Galapagos tortoise has been born and kept in captivity. No albino individuals have ever been observed in the wild," the zoo said in a statement.
The mother, who weighs more than 100kg, laid five eggs on February 11 and the albino baby hatched on May 1.
The other baby hatched on May 5 after the eggs spent two-and-a-half months in an incubator.
