As a bearded dragon owner, I feel the need to mention there's a prettyy broad range of intelligence stats for the species, with KZbin tending to feature the lower end of the spectrum for comedy. I've seen my bearded dragon (who is unusually small) push an empty gallon soap container over to the steps of the bathtub with her face, then scramble onto the soap container, then onto the first step from there, then use her claws and a wet wash cloth to scramble up over the rim of the tub and slide into the basin. She turned out to be very thirsty and knew that the bathtub can be filled with water. She had no idea how to make it PRODUCE the water, but she knew it was a good place to try and find water in the wilderness of my house. That said, it did require a lot of energy because of all the scrambling involved. She also managed to roll up the newspaper on the floor of her tank one time, and managed to prop it against a wall and tried to climb it. That did not work in the slightest because newspaper is way to light to support her weight, but it was a good effort from a bored animal.

I've seen similar things with my snakes (definitely less curious and intelligent than lizards but still smarter than people give them credit for). A sand boa looks stupid as hell until you see it escape an enclosure that is as tall as it is long by balancing on a hide or water dish to reach up to the lid, which it then presses its body against while still only supporting itself by the tail. This maneuver is so powerful I have to stack books on top of an already fairly heavy metal lid. Not to mention they can spring out of the ground, wrap nearly their whole body around a prey item several times the size of its head, and then return underground with their victim in seconds.

Rexy Burke yeah honestly I’m kinda thinking of making some art based on that

[@recklessrex]

Just a small clarification, I think he meant that after using the 'autotomy' ability, 'tail whip' becomes *temporarily* unusable until the 'caudal regeneration' passive ability has been active for enough time to restore at least two-thirds of the lost portion of tail. Unfortunately, this passive ability can take a long time, uses a lot of xp, and the end result is never as long as the player's originally tail weapon and includes a permanent debuff that reduces the damage, accuracy, and most importantly, range of the 'tail whip' ability. In fact, because the restored tail is shorter, it lacks the whip-like tip of the original tail weapon, and the animation for 'tail whip' after debuff no longer features the move's signature whip-snap. Some players have suggested that the debuffed 'tail whip' should be renamed 'tail bash' or 'tail slap' because of this. Disclaimer: I'm not saying TeirZoo's wrong, I just feel the way he worded it might be misleading for non-lizard players. I think he *must* know about 'caudal regeneration' and the debuffed 'tail whip', because some of the iguana players shown here using 'tail whip' are actually using it with the debuff, which not only comes with a visuably shorter tail weapon, but also the aesthetic status 'melanism' in the restored portion of tail, which in noob language means the regrown part of the tail is entirely black or dark brown. It makes it pretty easy to tell if an iguana player has had to use 'autotomy' during their playthrough.

[@TheCrimsonIdol987]

Not all lizards that engage in autotomy can regrow the tail. I agree that lizards are amazingly successful, but let's remember that not all lizards engage in autotomy, and of the ones that do, not all of them can grow the tail back. Iguanas can regrow it back, so you're not wrong at all, I'm just clarifying. :)

Normally Iguanas heal from this. Mine? Her tail stopped growing properly and instead grew out from the tail wound, it didn't have scales but was solid enough that a tail slap from her was a two-hit combo.

[@Ryodraco]

I'd argue that depends on how we define "best." The large monitors that successfully compete with large mammal builds on mainland servers (i.e. the water monitors which can rival the komodo in size, white throated monitor and such) are arguably "better" than the komodo who is able to be so successful in its niche because it has no large mammal competitors. Same for the big tegu lizards success on the mainland, as they are basically new world monitor lizards in terms of their niche.

[@reptilord6685]

The Predator32 I agree especially because they have a 90-95% kill rate. That’s higher than almost any other predator ever! However they don’t have much competition at all or any natural predator. But they would still be dominant if they moved and adapted to other parts of the world

Here is my story : I had an iguana for 12 years and I can tell you they are intelligent, one day he understood how to open the door of his terrarium, and he remember it forever, after 5 minutes back in he was already out again, true story I swear, he pushed his body on the glass and dragged the door again and again, then I bought a bigger terrarium then I completly made a room for him. He could also recognize me and got angry against people he didn't know, I stayed a month at the hospital and he still recognize me when I came back home. But when I tried to put a mirror in front of him he attacked the mirror like an opponent, I made many test with this reptile to check the limits of his intelligence, I was surprised when I understood he prefered red flowers instead of orange ones, in fact my iguana didn't like the orange color and I still don't know why, for exemple he liked sugar red orange fruit but not the original orange fruit. However I don't recommand this animal as pet, it requires too much electricity and cost a lot in winter because he only eats vegetables (my country is cold), it also required loads of attention and a lot of place , I mean "a lot", my iguana reached 1,2m, it was short for an adult but still giant for a room. Also if your iguana is female and alone she can die if they can't release her eggs (tell it to people please), they don't need a male to get eggs but need a special room to release them (like sea turtles). After several days of searching on the old internet I understood that my iguana were actualy a female and despite all efforts she couldn't lay their eggs, so I called a vet, at first he didn't trusted me because my iguana looked like a male (at least 4 "experts" told me it was an male just by looking at her), it was a new kind of pet at that time and only an university of vets could helped me, so I carried the iguana during winter to the medical-university in a box with an hot water bottle to keep her warm, this reptile needs tropical conditions, this is essential (cold blood), then the vet showed her to his students and made a x-ray, I was right and the eggs were already poisoning her, the vet took high risk to open the body of the iguana after anesthesia and removed the eggs, my iguana was saved and university was proud to saved his first iguana, it only cost me 50€ (at least 110 for a cat for the same surgery in 2020) and I'm glad that this trouble helped the new generation of vets to be more qualified to identify this trouble. The iguana recovered well and quickly. Many years after that incident my iguana died of a stroke like an human could, vet tried everything but the brain was dammaged, she died at home, in belgium we can't burry our pets where we want and it wasn't easy to dig a hole in the frozen dirt so I paid for an urn, they said it was their first iguana to get this honor and were very kind with her such as a dog or cat. People understood that a lizard could be a family member too and I thank them. The good news is I kept part of their molts from baby to adult so I can see how tiny she was at start, it helps to remember the feeling of the skins of a lizard, in fact some parts are very soft like satin. RIP Aragorn, a proud and strong lizard :( Optional edit : I would add a fact for the video : Iguanas do know the spinning hell move like crocodiles does, if you catch an iguana he'll start to spin and litterally lacerate your hands with their 20 claws around 0,8cm, the vet also didn't trusted me about it and learned the bad way. They have a very strong body and it's really difficult to block it if you are alone, you first have to block the bottom legs with one hand and press the reptile on your body to avoid the whip and block the front legs with the other hand so he can't bite, that's no so hard to learn, also the whip pain is similare to a real whip, it's heavy and snatch your skin like it was burnt.They can't hide their claws and so they could hurt you just by walking so I used a falconry glove. The bite is rude, enough to make your skin explode and bleeding, once they catch you they won't release it easily. They have a "U" mouth similare to tyranosaurs and also few tiny teeth. So when they put their head up you have to be carefull, and when they start moving their head that's a sign they will attack if you don't move. I confirm cats fear them. They can also climb reversed branchs by jumping and catch it, then they use the whip to help them to rotate on the branch. The only time my iguana fall was when she got her stroke, that's how I understood something bad happened. I confirm that iguana yawn, but they rarely drink water, they put the bottom of the mouth in water and close/open to drink, I've only seen that 3 times in 12 years, they have a tongue similare to us but cut in half at the end (like snake but shorter), they also use the tongue to taste their environment and food very often. They like bath that help them to poop, mine also went to the floor to poop always at the same place, the poop looks like a bird poop, brown shit smelling like dirt (really) with something like an broken chiken egg with it (pee), they release both at the same time once a day. They do not sweat. Also their saliva is sticky to grab leaves. They are active at day and sleep on a branch, after few minutes they can release few legs like us in a bed and look like they enjoy it a lot. They don't show pain but you can see they are suffuring when they have a big pupil at day (like cats). They can stay in the same position for hours, the back skin is tough and you can easily feel their bones below the skin. They also sneeze everyday to release the salt element of their body, that's the main problem to keep the glass clean because dry salt is white. Because of the warm area and vegetables you have to clean it very often, they will only eat fresh food and get lazy if you don't mix it, so you can't feed them with only 1 kind of vegetables, depending of where you live it can cost a lot to get some kind of food at some part of the year. It also requires special lighting to reproduce the sun effect and this type of light must be renew every few month. The ridge on the back isn't dangerous at all, they can easily lean, that's just to impress enemis, the dewlap has a tiny and fragile bone in it, this part is soft, same for the throat, the neck is the strongest part with the head. I've read that baby iguanas have a 3rd eye on the head that seems to disappear when they grew up, the scale just get thicker and you can't see it anymore.

[@customerservice1565]

Man I love when you focus on a specific build, but my question is, who's been recording such a high number of cat-iguana interactions, and why?

[@Yal_Rathol]

iguanas and feral cats are common in some human cities, so they have a high chance of encountering each other.

[@Chaosrunepownage]

The human's greatest semi-cryptid build: The Florida Man/Woman. Green iguanas were introduced to Florida and a string of mild winters have allowed their populations to explode. Cats, similarly introduced by humans, are highly successful in the same urban to semiurban settings and so when you have a ton of builds in the same area of course they're going to interact and the Florida Man/Woman is notorious for filming anything regardless of their safety or the safety of their support characters.
