This loving pet owner has created a neat habit of greeting his pet bearded dragon every time he walks into the room where he rests. Apparently, this polite acknowledgement of his presence resulted in a feedback behavior in his pet!

A curious video of a polite lizard waving back at owner took the Internet by storm. Footage shows the moment when this cheeky <a href="https://rumble.com/v3w3dr-rabbit-gives-lizard-a-great-big-kiss.html" target="_blank">bearded dragon</a> enthusiastically waves back at his human.

Fortunately, this unbelievably adorable moment was captured on camera featuring a cute reptile chilling in its aquarium tank when a human greets it with a wave. Moments later, the lizard stares back at the camera and performs a hand gesture similar to a wave at his owner.

Did this reptile just wave back at the camera or are we imagining things? Nope. He did, he most definitely did! And then he did it again! Watch as the curious lizard gazes at the human before waving back at him. Twice! Incredible!

Experts stress that arm waving is a very common behaviour displayed by baby and juvenile bearded dragons. The bearded dragon can suddenly raise a front limb and rapidly wave it above its head. This behaviour can be very amusing, because it appears that <a href="https://rumble.com/v3zklh-a-dragons-fierce-love-pet-bearded-dragon-nods-and-waves-at-owner-to-show-af.html" target="_blank">the reptile is waving and greeting</a> like the Pope does!

Arm-waving is seen frequently in juvenile dragons. Youngsters use arm-waving when interacting with each other, even where there is no apparent aggression. They will slowly move one arm in a circular motion and may even switch arms and body position while doing this. It is more frequent with those who are smaller and may be the start of territorial behavior. Juveniles will arm-wave to show submission to an older dragon, particular after the adult head-bobs to indicate dominance.

Watching this pet bearded dragon greet back his owner, performing a hand gesture and waving back at owner, with a royal touch! Cuteness overload!
