Mozart, an iguana at the Aquatopia in Antwerp, Beligum, had his penis amputated. Apparently, he was suffering from a week-long erection that interfered with his mobility. From Metro News:
Remedies from cold water to introducing female iguanas into his enclosure all failed and it was decided that an operation was the only solution to the problem…
A spokesman at the zoo, speaking with the casual, blasé manner of someone who hasn’t just had their penis cut off, said: ‘Male iguanas – including Mozart – have two penises, so this is unlikely to be a big problem for him.’
