Thanks for posting that :D

It's a cute little thing isnt it :P

I remember as a child, there was a comic book character by that name. He supposedly had the third eye and could see in the future.

I think it's funny that he's into younger girls.....his mate is only 80yrs old. Cradlerobber!

He's darn cute for being a crusty eleventy one years old. :)

As was said, Tuatara aren't lizards, but they ARE extremely cool. I like to think of them as "living dinosaurs".

Hey if you want a time commitment, go get a Macaw, or maybe a Sulcata!

Found a great photo of one: http://science.nationalgeographic.co...-708119-sw.jpg
