    I really like your translation into Lizard-speak – it’s perfect! 

    Poor Lizard is still hungry, too.

  • spacemunky

    How you get so big eating food of this kind?

  • http://www.tulgeywooddesigns.com Amphigorey

    Aww, I hope she got a tasty treat afterwards.

  • chehansen

    I like how the lizard frequently looks up at the owner as if s(he) is all WTF?

    • lorq

      Yes, that first sidelong glance at :24 really had me laughing.  Like a classic Jack Benny double-take.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    Don’t try that shit with a basilisk.  They do not have a sense of humor.

    Everyone please note thsis: Bearded Dragons require a ton of UVB radiation to stay healthy. Please buy the strongest UVB lights you can for your dragon habitat.

    BTW,  Humans need UVB too. If you work an early shift, switching on your beardie’s UVB lights before sunrise will kick your hormones into action and make you have a better day.

    What sin against nature have we humans wrought!? Surely it goes by the name Ant Crusher. 

  • chixon

    Sometimes I feel like that lizard.

  • Joseph Dawson

    Idunno, looks to me like he has it pretty figured out.

    Well, that’s smarter than our dog.

    Somewhere, some mind-bogglingly advanced aliens are LOLing at a video of a human playing Wii Golf.

    For some real fun, put a chameleon in front of a mirror. It starts getting all big and red and hisses at that other chameleon it sees.

      Why, I wonder?  As Karl Pilkington has noted, it should just go “wow, that’s the fastest I’ve ever changed before!”.  I could definitely see it getting frustrated if you popped one on a TV screen or some tartan tho.

  • Mark Neumayer

    I would like to be the first to apologize to our future radiation-mutated gigantic overlords.

    Lizard eventually figure out menu! Lizard make $99 in-app purchase to get rid of wasps! Wryyyyyy!

  • turnstyle

    Even on my favorite table, he can beat my best.
    His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest.
    He’s got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall.
    That deaf dumb and blind kind sure plays a mean pin ball!!!

  • GawainLavers

    The lizard does have the menu figured out: glare at the human until the human makes it go away.  That’s the corporate executive solution.

    Wait till you see my cat play angry birds…
