He fucking CLIMBED HIM
#yeah you shouldn't mess with wild animals even if they seem to be small and harmless#i just hope that the lizard was okay after this#video#australia
He shouldn't grab it like that but given that the frillneck had literally climbed on top of him I'm not sure he had a whole lot of good options.
What was his goal? Did he think he was going to eat the Giant Biped?
Might have wanted to bite his face perhaps, but it seems counterproductive when the guy was already running away
Frillies love being up high and feel safe there. They also love biting and general agression. The third and most important aspect of their nature is that they're very very very dumb.
These three things combine into a situation where the frillie goes "hey fuck off mate, hey fuck off! Hey I wanna be tall so I'm not scared why is my tree running away. Come back tree! But the guy can Fuck off! gotta climb the tree! WHOA THERES A GUY IN MY TREE??? FUCK OFF!!!"
this video is missing its second half, the doofus lizard and doofus lads are both fine. the dialogue, with interjections more or less ommitted, goes:
Camera Guy: That's a frilled [lizard]. It's not any more complicated than that. There. You just need one to climb on you. Tree Guy: Hey! Go Australia! Camera Guy: "Yeah, frilled lizards are hard to catch, you're bugging them." Nope! [some Lizard Slapstick] You're going to lose an eye. Tree Guy: He's showing me who's boss, don't bother. Camera Guy: Hello! Oof, the little tail slaps. Hello! Oh! Beautiful frill! Beautful lighting! [...] You ok there? [some mumbling i can't catch] and we're already being assaulted by Australia. [lizard jumps off and goes sprinting into the brush] Hey! Bye! Ciao! Have a great day!
also at the very start he says "Il est mort?", i.e. "is he dead?"
They thought it was cool roadkill and went to get a closer look. They weren't deliberately trying to fuck with wildlife.
