Ouch!

Mozart, an iguana at a Belgium zoo, is not having a good day. He just found out that he's going to have to go under the knife.

You see, Mozart mated with a female iguana last week. Good for him. The problem? Seven days later his erection still hasn't gone away (you can't make this stuff up).

The vet has decided to amputate due to the risk of infection.

Don't feel too bad for Mozart. Male iguanas, it turns out, have two penises (way to go Mozart!).

If you google this story you'll find several articles about it. My favorite headline?
It's a hard decision for zoo vets

This almost goes hand-in-hand with the komoto dragon that had a virgin birth in England - spontaneous reproduction!

Very Jurassic Park-esque. Interesting week for reptiles.

But awwww...poor Mozart.

I wonder if this is related to the Cialis warming about an erection of longer than 4 hours...
