Cute lizard pets

We have never seen a more touching display of lizard-lamb camaraderie.

An adorable new YouTube video shot by Shannen Hussein chronicles the heroic adventure of one brave lizard, who hops onto the back of a baby sheep named Maisy and rides around the house in a high-speed chase.

We don’t know what the lamb gets out of this sweet partnership, but the lizard certainly got the thrill of a lifetime.

“It was feeding time for the lizards when one happened to jump for its food but jumped [a bit] too far, ” the exclamation-laden YouTube description reads. “Falling out of its enclosure onto Maisy the orphaned lamb’s back, who happened to be just below at the time! It may have sounded like the perfect escape plan! But then Maisy took off running around the house with the lizard still attached to her back!”

While the lizard almost executed her great escape – every time Hussein tries to pick the lizard off of Maisy’s back the lamb nervously jets away – she was eventually “returned to her enclosure” and is in perfectly good health, however demoralized.
