And we found the first tortoise that had ever been raised in any zoo, we found in the early ’50s, ’53 as I recall. And a few days later we dug down, found another live one and a number of eggs that had been fertile but the eggs didn’t hatch. About five years later, San Diego was successful in raising their first Galapagos tortoise. And because, again, this breakthrough we attribute to, is the fact that the soft-yielding soil permitted the male to effectively fertilize mate effectively and fertilize the eggs.
