On average, the tuatara lives for 60 years, but it can live to be older than 100. The oldest known living tuatara is Henry, a 130-year-old member of his species living in a New Zealand animal reserve.
The tuatara, a lizard-like reptile native to New Zealand, can live well over 100 years. Henry, a tuatara at the Southland Museum in New Zealand, mated for the first time at the estimated age of 111 years in 2009 with an 80-year-old female and fathered 11 baby tuatara. [113]

[28] Clevosaurus sectumsemper has an estimated total length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in), [ 29 ] while large individuals of the largest known terrestrial sphenodontian, Priosphenodon avelasi reached total lengths of just ...
