Pizza Iguana Steals A Slice Of Pizza And Our Hearts

The ravenous reptile is rolling in dough ― pizza dough, that is.

Pizza Rat is so 2015. The future belongs to “Pizza Iguana,” a saucy lizard who lives in the Mexico resort town Playa del Carmen.

The ravenous reptile is rolling in dough ― pizza dough, that is ― after a man filmed him stealing a slice of pizza off a table at a local eatery.

The video above shows the filmmaker enjoying pizza until the iguana climbs onto the table, grabs the man’s slice and starts to pig out.

“Go ahead, have it,” the man can be heard saying in the video above. “Have it all. It’s very good, actually.”

The iguana then greedily grabs the slice and runs away.

Pizza Iguana is just the latest urban animal with a fondness for human fast food.

Who can forget “Taco Squirrel”?

Or “Bagel Pigeon”?

For a brief moment in time, we were entranced by “Donut Rat.”

And we’ll never forget you “Milkshake Squirrel.”
