Who knew a lizard could be so friendly and well-trained?

Entertainment media company The LAD Bible shared a video of a waving lizard that’s going viral. The clip has been viewed over 57 million times since it was uploaded three weeks ago!

According to this bearded dragon website:

“One meaning is species recognition. If a bearded dragon waves at another bearded dragon, it tells the other dragon that he/she is aware of their presence. Another meaning is submission … whenever they are approached by a larger bearded dragon or whenever a larger animal approaches the dragon.”

Either way, it is quite entertaining.
