The backstory:

Earlier this month, the Philadelphia Zoo welcomed a clutch of Western Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoises for the first time in over 150 years.

The hatchling's parents, female Mommy and male Abrazzo, are the zoo's two oldest residents, each estimated to be around 100-years-old.

The four female tortoises debuted to the public last week on the 94th anniversary of Mommy's arrival at the Philadelphia Zoo.
