Henry is a proud father of 11, but he didn't become a father until 2009, around at least 110 years into his life. He long had aspirations of a family and had a few dates in the 1980s which ended poorly after he bit off his dates tail. He hatched sometime in the 1890s, making him the oldest known tuatara alive today, and holds the record for longest time in captivity at 46 years (he is a political prisoner due to his violent agitation in favor of Māori self-determination).

He is held along with Mildred, the mother of his children, and several other tuataras at the Queens Park animal reserve in Invercargill, New Zealand. He and his associates have never been formally charged with a crime.
