Reptile born during reign of Queen Victoria fathers 11


From Metro:
A reptile in New Zealand has unexpectedly become a father at the ripe old age of 111 - after receiving treatment for a cancer which had made him hostile toward prospective mates.

The centenarian tuatara, named Henry, was thought to be long out of the mating game, until he was caught canoodling with a female named Mildred last March. That consummation that resulted in 11 babies being hatched on Monday.

....

Henry was at least 70 years old when he arrived at the museum, 'a grumpy old man' who attacked other reptiles, including females. He stayed that way until a cancerous tumor was removed from his genitals in 2002, said Hazley.

'I went off the idea he was good for breeding,' Hazley told The Associated Press, but once the tumor was removed, 'he was no longer aggressive.'
Henry may be a bit of a dinosaur (and that's not just because he's reptilian) but apparently 111 is not too old to become a Dad!

Excuse me, do you have a monkey up your blouse?



When I see apparently pregnant women I often think “are they preggers or do they have a sedated monkey up their blouse?”

It therefore comes as no surprise to me that Gypsy Lawson has used this cunning ruse to smuggle a monkey into the USA. The stunt was missed by dozy US customs staff and only came to light after she bragged about it to a store clerk.

Next time you see a suspicious pregnant woman we suggest you check and ask, you might get a surprising response!
