First Time Dad At 111 Years Old! Yes 111..
Updated : Jan 27, 2009
A Rare reptile called “Henry†in the Southland Museum in New Zealand has fathered a sprog for the first time, at the ripe young age of 111-years-old. His young reptile other half, who is in her 70’s, laid 11 eggs and successfully had all the babies after 223 days of incubation!
Staff previously tried to get “Henry†to mate with another reptile in 1970 but he proved to be a grumpy old fart and bit of his mate's tail! Now, there might be a downside to “Henry†having kids and that is they have to keep him away from his newborns as he might eat them! Ahh, that’s fatherly love at its best for ya!
