Tiny Leopard Gecko Looks Like A Grinning Extraterrestrial

Contrary to popular belief, people opt for many different species of animals as pets, not only dogs and cats. Although, we must say that these last two have proven to be the most popular ones, it is possible to domesticate other animals too.Show more

Not everything that comes from the wilderness is as scary as it might sound. Sure, the more colorful the animal is, the more we crave to make it our pet, but it is also more dangerous. Usually the colors are the predatory mechanisms of animals that want to lure us in and make them our meal. But if we manage to recreate the natural habitat of those animals when we take them as our pets, disasters can be easily avoided.

Nowadays, people keep everything from the fluffy and seemingly harmless bunny, to the most vicious slithering predators on Earth as their pets. This footage shows us a rather uncommon pet - the Leopard Gecko. It is most commonly found in Asia’s highlands and Afghanistan. This little one was filmed on January 2, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA lounging in its makeshift habitat. The tiny lizard is looking straight at the camera, inspecting its every move.

Although you might not think that lizards can be cute, this one is here to prove us all wrong. Its smile is so otherworldly, it looks as if the little one came from a different planet. Absolutely adorable!
