"Single Green Male seeking female for long nights on the log, basking in the daytime sun and salads by the windows. I am a gentle soul so no rough stuff. I just want to be cuddled."

This may very well be the makings of the most amusing personal ad out there, but a male Iguana at Tropiquaria is looking for a partner to share his home. The reason for the public outreach rather than working through normal channels is Iguanas are very plentiful and the zoo is hoping they can help a wayward soul in need of a home:

Tropiquaria director Chris Moiser said: “Ralph has lost two female companions in the last two years, one through ovarian cancer and the other through liver failure, and an attempt at a recent introduction failed when his new lady friend was found to be a confirmed husband batterer.

“Although there are mechanisms within the zoo world for advertising for single animals to make up pairs, green iguanas are as much domestic pets as zoo animals these days and we feel that there may well be one within the local area looking to be re-homed who may fit the bill. Ralph is very much a gentle dragon character and is clearly missing female company.
