Wait for It—Frilled Lizard Climbs Barefoot Man

We’re not sure why Enzo Semaskovish is galavanting around Australia barefoot, but we do know that he got more than he bargained for when he started filming a frilled lizard. Semaskovish appears to be a Frenchman in Australia, and he shares his passion for reptiles on sites like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

He recently shared a video with the caption “Welcome to Jurassic park!” In the video, there’s a frilled lizard with its neck frill fully unfurled. It then runs at Semaskovish. Semaskovish backs up, letting it chase him a bit. Then, the lizard stops, and Semaskovish walks back toward it. What happens next might freak some of you out.

Semaskovish lets it happen, saying “c’est bon, c’est bon, c’est bon” (literally “that’s good,” but it can also mean “that’s enough”) when it gets a bit too high up for comfort. We’ll leave it there and let you watch it for yourself.

(Volume up so you don’t miss the hiss.)

Frilled lizards are non-venomous reptiles that live in Australia and New Guinea. They can run on two legs and use their large neck frills as a defense to scare away predators.

Would you let that thing climb your leg?
