The shocking video showing the moment a collar iguana defends itself from a man is leaving the internet stunned!

The clip, shared on Instagram, shows a man slowly approaching a collar iguana by the side of the road to film it. But it seems the reptile was not happy with the human presence at all.

The man films as the iguana charges at him, climbing on him to intimidate him. Although the reptile didn’t actually injure the man, it certainly accomplished its mission of teaching him not to mess with those who are minding their own business.

Posted on February 12, the video has already amassed over 15 million views and more than 11,000 comments from internet users who were shocked by the scene.

“The way they run is so funny, but if that happened to me, I’d probably pee [myself],” commented one Instagram user. “From what I read, they’re completely harmless, it’s just a strategy to scare,” said another.

“It’s his pet now. He’s not attacking him. He’s just protecting himself,” analyzed a third user. “If he’s so scared of us, why do they climb on us?” asked another.
