A small iguana slowly approached them and remained close, seemingly unthreatened and relaxed. The clip was quickly posted online via social media.
Unexpected Street Encounter
The video demonstrates that the iguana is drawn toward the couple, rather than fleeing them. The couple sat down and did not appear to be afraid. They continued eating while the small reptile stayed near the food. Viewers said the animal looked curious and calm. The scene took place in an open street area with people walking nearby.
It is reported that the couple shared a small portion of food with the iguana. The reptile appeared to accept it and stayed briefly before slowly moving away. The exchange in the video was somewhat brief but very clear. The video was captured by a witness and posted on the internet, attracting global attention.

Wildlife Interaction Attracts Attention
