Everyone loves their pets. Whether a dog, cat, horse, pig, or bunny, they’re special. Not only do people spend as much time with their animals as possible but also a lot of money to pamper them. But sometimes, a cuddly pet isn’t quite what you’d expect.
Viral videos
Who doesn’t like a good viral video? A lot of them feature cats or dogs, which makes them even more special. But one video has now received more than 30,000 views for an entirely different type of animal — a lizard.
Loving reptiles
You might be surprised to learn that even reptiles show a lot of affection toward their owners. A lot of them love to snuggle up for a long nap. They’re also playful and entertaining. As one guy proved with a viral video, his pet lizard does something unique.
Returning home
At the start of the viral video, a man is returning home from work. But instead of being greeted by a dog with a wagging tail, you spot something unusual close to the house looking at him. At first, it’s hard to tell what it is.
“Come here, buddy”
That what the man says as he approaches his pet lizard. Since it’s still a distance away, it’s hard to see just how massive this thing is. But in hearing his owner’s voice, the reptile slowly turns and begins making his way toward his human.
Surprisingly fast
With its owner still calling for the lizard and now on a straight path, this thing moves quickly. Before you know it, the reptile is at its owner’s feet. That’s when you really see just how huge his pet is.
What is it?
Although the exact type of lizard is never mentioned, it looks like a Giant Iguana. Typically, adults can reach almost six feet in length. While some are green, others are more of a gray color like this one.
Its size is staggering
Whatever kind of lizard this is, it’s incredibly big but also friendly. The man reaches down and begins to rub and pat the reptile, which loves every second of it. As the man touches its head, the lizard presses into it. The interaction is super sweet.
They have a special bond
Watching this guy and his lizard interact, there’s no question they’re bonded friends. After all, how many reptiles come running when their owner calls them? Not very many that we know of. Again, we don’t know how long this guy has had his pet but they obviously love one another.
A big smile
At one point, the camera zooms out a little. At that point, it looks as though the lizard is flashing a grin from ear to ear. The guy then gives his lizard a good pat on the side and says, “Aren’t you glad I’m home?”
So impressive
This lizard is so big yet super gentle. Watching the two of them together, you have to be impressed. It’s so awesome to see someone with a pet that few people own. And of course, people on the internet love this video.
