Reptile Becomes a Father at 111 Years Old


From the BBC:

A rare New Zealand reptile has fathered 11 babies at the age of 111.

The keepers of Henry, a tuatara, had thought he was past his prime as he showed no interest in females during 40 years in captivity.

But he mated with 80-year-old Mildred last July and all of the eggs she produced have now hatched.
