An almost tamed lizard

This lizard visited this guy’s home in a regular basis. As nobody believed him, he and a friend set up a camera to prove their story. They’re from a small town on the southern state of Parana. “This f*%& camera don’t have zoom” one of them complains. But it wasn’t a problem. The lizard was so used to humans that it even let them touch him. A rare sight.


The sequel to the lizard in the backyard is here.
