She, who is 80 years old, is unquestionably one of the world’s oldest new mothers.

She gave birth to the adorable little creatures with her slender young 54-year-old companion, Jumbo.

The babies, that are roughly the size of a pocket, have only 4 to 5 ounces, but they are far from full maturity, as she, who weighs 220 pounds, proved.

Male and female ones can weigh up to 400 and 700 pounds, in both, so Mommy is still growing.

What distinguishes these instantly recognizable living creatures is that they are among the earth’s natural longest-living lifeforms.

These turtles are thought to live for about 200 years, so these little turtles may observe a future that no one alive today will be able to live and have fun with.

But at least we got to see pictures of them when they were babies! Share this beautiful and sweet story with your friends and family to lighten their day and fill it with love and light.
