00:00 This is one of the highlights of my entire life
00:02 and one of the most special moments ever for Australia Zoo.
00:07 This is the very first Alsaea erwinii,
00:10 Erwin's turtle, ever hatched for any zoological facility
00:15 anywhere in the world.
00:18 This species is a turtle that Dad originally discovered
00:22 out in the wild, and for the first time,
00:24 we've got a little baby.
00:26 And right now, he's gonna get his first swim
00:29 in a brand new pond.
00:30 This is a little slice of the wild.
00:32 Let's get him in the water.
00:34 There you go, mate.
00:36 Off he goes.
00:39 It's just so surreal, and all the stories from Dad
00:43 about just how amazing and beautiful they are.
00:45 I don't get emotional, I have a bunch of them.
00:48 - Cheer it up.
00:48 - Dad and Bear, really proud of you.
00:52 - Dad would be stoked with that.
00:58 We did it.
