The Plzeň Zoo has revealed that one of its rare Aldabra giant tortoises laid 31 eggs earlier this month. If the eggs hatch, it would be a global sensation, as this species has successfully bred in captivity in Europe only once before. However, breeders remain cautious, as it takes about 120 days for the eggs to hatch.
The Aldabra giant tortoise, one of the largest and longest-living animals in the world, is endemic to the Aldabra atoll in the Seychelles.
