Stupid & Funny News: Iguana's penis-ectomy

Vets at a zoo in Brussels have had to chop off an iguana’s penis because the iguana - called Mozart - had difficulty walking with the erection, which apparently just would not go down.

Vets at Antwerp’s Aquatopia had tried and failed to treat the animal’s problem, but as his erection didn’t go, they decided penis removal was the only solution. It’s not specified in reports how they tried to rid him of his pesky erection but maybe they showed him fat and ugly lady iguanas in sex poses - or pictures of Maggie Thatcher - or maybe they gave him a cold shower…

However, the good news for Mozart is that male iguanas have two penises. Zoo staff said that Mozart was recovering well and the operation is unlikely to affect his ability to reproduce.

I imagine if there are queues in the afterlife for what you’d like to be reincarnated as, the iguana bookings office may need to hire in a few more staff; and fair dos given that iguanas get constant erections and have two d*cks… most men would swap a lottery win for those abilities!
