Watch a Lizard Play a Touchscreen Game With Its Tongue
This talented reptile has become a YouTube sensation.
We've seen small children play with touchscreen devices with little or no problems, and there are even cat games for entertaining your feline friends, but lizards like to play games too, even if they can't use their little feet as input devices.
Check out this video uploaded to YouTube by user 'ThatSpecialGuy.' The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Australian Philip Gith, the man behind the username, filmed his bearded dragon 'Crunch' playing a bug squishing game on his phone. Gith says he has another bearded dragon, but it's not as interested in the game as Crunch.
Gith says he's had all sort of people contact him about the video, including the from the folks at Good Morning America. He says that other people on YouTube have posted video responses that show them trying to get their dragon to do the same thing to no avail.

Ahh, so that's what my coworkers are doing with their touch screens at work! It's all making sense, now.
LOL
B.F. Skinner would have been impressed, his dog wouldn't be able to do that!
what's so impressive about it
maybe it thought them real ants
This is why they created the InternetZ
Good one Jane!!!
Lets just say, choosing this story was in good taste
Poor dragon
it's hoping to get a quick meal and gets nothing for all it's work.
My pet frog can do that too, with more accuracy at longer distance. ^_^
Heh saw this elsewhere days ago ... as usual.
Awww. I miss my bearded dragon...
This is pretty awesome.
Poor thing probably wonders why do the ants taste so hard and cold!

Nah, it'd only think that when playing on an iPad. The android tablet shown gives it a warm fuzzy d\feeling.
It's a TongueScreen!
Ok, that was lame.
So? My pet rat can do that. It can also type word documents.
Lmao that's hilarious. When he looks at the camera it's almost as if he's saying "....... srsly? OH CRAP ANOTHER ONE"
"I'm still HUNGRY!!!" lol
That's a nice diet program for your pet lizard.
It's hard to understand, bearded dragons are very smart actually, it may understand it's playing a game. Monitor lizards and tagus are uncanny smart in some instances too.
