Caught On Tape: Twin Baby Tortoises Being Born

It’s not every day that we see tortoises being born, and when we do happen upon such a glorious event, it will usually be when we’re at the beach. You’ll typically only see baby tortoises crawling from under the sand to go into the water with their siblings.

If you do happen to be fortunate enough to see baby tortoises being born, or baby turtles being born, it’s best to let nature handle it. However, this extraordinary video called for the interference of people as the two baby tortoise twins being born are joined by their sac and are not able to separate.

Watch as the Garden Start Tortoise safely separates the twins.
