Long Dry Spell

A tuatara named Henry hadn’t had sex for at least 40 years, but finally got it on and has become a dad to eleven bouncing baby tuatara.

He’d apparently been grumpy due to a tumor on his rump (or his underneath area. I can’t be sure, since the article says “his bottom.” What does that mean?).

Once the tumor was removed, he got all frisky and mated with Mildred. He’s a bit of a cradle-robber, since Mildred is 30 years his junior (he’s 111, she’s 80 or so).

Let’s hear it for late bloomers.
