New species of giant lizard discovered in Philippines

PARIS - Biologists on Wednesday reported the "spectacular" discovery of a species of giant lizard, a reptile as long as a full-grown man is tall, and endowed with a double penis.

The secretive but brightly-colored beast, a monitor lizard, is a close cousin of the Komodo dragon of Indonesia.

But unlike the fearsone dragon, it is not a carnivore, nor does it feast on rotting meat. Instead, it is entirely peaceable and tucks into fruit.
