WELLINGTON (AFP) - A rare 111-year-old New Zealand reptile with links to the age of the dinosaurs is to become a ****** for the first time in at least 38 years after regaining an interest in sex.
Henry the tuatara, a lizard-like creature of prehistoric origin, had grown fat and lazy after arriving at Southland Museum in the remote South Island city of Invercargill in 1970, staff said.
But Henry has now mated with Mildred, his 80-year-old companion, and 11 of her eggs are expected to hatch in six months.
