Tuatara - this thing just looks awesome - clearly endangered but definitely a cool looking specimen. A captive male aged 115yrs just recently bred!

Edit: Just found a forum thread about these in General Discussion - sorry if a repost but I had to share the picture.

I wanted to research what these are, I read about them in "The Lizard King" but hadn't had time yet. Thanks for saving me the work, they look awsome.

Tuataras rock...well at least they look like them anyway!

Like some kinds of long-living parrots and birds, it's the kind of pet that you have to include in your will for your kids to inherit!!!

Someone got the wrong age, he's 111.
