Indonesians love their music and the country’s animals are no exception as a lizard was captured “strumming” away at a leaf like a little Jimi Hendrix or Slash.
UPDATE SCANDAL: Indonesian guitar-playing lizard may have been murdered, netizens fear
A professional photographer in Yogyakarta, Java captured the money shot of a forest dragon lizard that appears like it’s playing guitar.
Aditya Permana, 33, says he was watching the “rockstar” for over an hour before it assumed its guitar-playing pose and maintains the lizard didn’t get stage fright in front of him because of his at ease vibe, according to the Daily Mail.
“I did not directly photograph the lizard at first, until the lizards feel calm and comfortable around me,” the photographer said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
‘“I noticed it looked like it was playing a guitar – and it didn’t move at all.”
Seriously though, just look how the lizard’s jamming with his leaf and leaning against the branch. That lizard is feeling his music.
Indonesian animals sure have a way with the camera. This dragon lizard’s now viral close-up brings back memories of a Sulawesi monkey who got caught talking selfies bearing her toothy grin.
