Congratulations to 90 year-old Mr. Pickles and 53 year-old Mrs. Pickles of Houston on the birth of their 3 children! The catch: everyone is a Radiated Tortoise and they live at the Houston Zoo :). The Pickles have been together 27 years and this is a big win for the endangered species native to Madagascar.

The kids are named Dill, Gherkin, and Jalapeno!!! LOL. Now to us, 90 sounds VERY old to become a parent. Think of the species though…there are documented examples of them living to about 190 years old! So if you think about it, this is like a person having a baby around 40.

Again, congrats to the Houston Zoo!
