lizards

Even despite the fact that we look at animals all day long, nature still manages to surprise us every once in a while with something amazing . Because nature is amazing and so are animals. And this specific animal - the earless monitor lizard, otherwise known as Lanthanotus borneensis - has managed to take us by surprise, because these little guys look like tiny real life dragons. 

Lizards keep surprising us with how cool they are now that we're thinking about, and so do other super underappreciated animals. And if you know anything about us, you know that we enjoy nothing more than giving love to animals who do not get enough of it. So, enjoy this little underappreciated creature - in all its tiny but fierce glory. 

Everyone, Rory. Rory, everyone. Rory is one of the most adorable geckos we've ever seen. He has stolen our hearts and made us fall in love with geckos even more than we were before. He likes cuddling paper towels, being overly dramatic, scaring his owner when they sleep, and being the cutest gecko of all geckos. 

Who knew that itty bitty lizards like that could have so much personality? If we had known before, we would have actually considered getting one of them. So, thank you tumblr user iwilleatyourenglish, for showing us the awwdorable gecko light. 

Cats can stare at everything and nothing for endless amounts of time. They will simply stare off in a direction that has no movement, which often leaves us wondering what sort of ghosts lay within our walls. Cats will either stare at nothing or something they're intrigued by, like insects, birds, and reptiles. They will sit there and chirp away at these unusual creatures that have invaded their space. 

All this excitement of seeing a creature within reach is quite an entertaining source, not just for us, but for the cats, too. In fact, one might say it could be their version of whatever hit show is currently running. 

In collaboration with popular Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we find out what sort of show cats would be tuning into on a daily basis, and their commentary during the live show.

This is what the internet was made for, cats and chameleons holding random little props. 

Redditor, u/Chonky_lizard, had begun posting daily photos of their cousins' chameleon holding random props from LEGO. Objects such as tiny weapons, or as simple as a coffee cup. We are totally into this project and can't wait to see more photos of this particular chameleon and all the weaponry. 

Who knew cats would have such a love and hate relationship with lizards? From personal experience, I've had a cat deliver one too many lizards to my doorstep, some alive, others not. And I've also had a cat do absolutely nothing whenever a lizard was present. 

Cats are odd little killing machines, but every so often, there's a cat who wants nothing to do with that murder instinct and is just... chill. Below is a gallery of cats, some of which seem to have gotten a bit of karma when it comes to lizard hunting, and others who are... cuddling with lizards? One clever commenter noticed that cats love bearded dragons, but hate all other lizards. Interesting observation! 

Well, as we all can confirm -- cats are weird! 

There is beauty all around you! This list is here to remind you to stop and smell the flowers once in awhile! It does the soul some good -- just look at how happy these adorable creatures are when they're sniffing some flowers! 

Cat and dog owners are well known for dressing their pets in funny outfits. However, lizard owners are now stepping up their game and putting their bearded dragons into wedding dresses, captain uniforms, and even shark costumes. The only thing left is to find the right events for them to attend. 

This community really came forth when one of the residents found an unmoving iguana washed up onto their driveway!
