@zovick if they made a BBC video for every three Radiated tortoises you produced over your lifetime, how many videos would there be?

When I first seen this a couple weeks ago on my local news and FB I thought the same thing kinda. So, big deal, they are hatched on this forum a lot.
I guess just the age of the male is the big deal.

Apparently the first time he sired any offspring at 90 years old. No offspring previous in captivity. Despite living with females during that time. There was also some comment somewhere about being a genetically significant specimen, but not sure in what respect.
