My brother and I donated our 3 1/2 foot, probably a Red Tegu lizard, back in 1973 to the Indianapolis Zoo. I had just completed my first year at Indiana State University and my brother was headed there in the fall, so it became necessary to find a home four our Tegu. It was the first reptile ever provided to the Zoo. Wonderful lizard. Gorgeous coloring, red, black, with some yellow stripes. So gentle. We got the Tegu thru Mail-Order before the Import-Export Laws were significantly toughened and that was a good thing. It cost $5.00 and arrived via Air Shipment in the dead of winter in Indiana. In August, 1984, when I was back in Indianapolis for my wedding to my wife of now 36 years, I went by the Zoo and inquired about its status. None of the employees seemed to know about it but they got the Zoo Director to come over and he said that he remembered the Tegu. I asked what happened to it and he said that a few years earlier they traded it to another Zoo but could not remember which one. I asked why the trade and he said that it had gotten even larger and was getting more aggressive, hence, harder to deal with, so they found another home for the Tegu. Ours had a large scar that ran across the width of the base of the tail indicating that it occurred during capture or from some predator attack. It ate fresh eggs, with lettuce and raw hamburger from a petri dish. It was very gentle and would lay on your leg to absorb your body heat. What was most memorable about this lizard was that it crapped on my Mother's brand new, white Karastan carpet in the living room. We tried everything to get the stain out before Mom came home and killed us. Fortunately, we were able to minimize the stain color and size by moving a chair ever so slightly over the stain as to nearly completely cover it. We did not tell my Mom about this for over a decade until my parents had moved to another home.....I will never forget grabbing and carrying the lizard out of the living room while it was defecating, its head turned to the side while looking at my brother who was sitting there paralyzed with both fear and laughter of the sight of me carrying the lizard out of the living room....the lizard thinking, "now, what the hell is this all about".....what a great pet he made.
I am from Argentina🇦🇷, where the tegu is a native animal. They are very intelligent and friendly if you domesticate them, the thing is that if you leave them abandoned and without human contact they become aggressive very quickly. In the wild they become large, aggressive and with several scars since they are animals that fight all their lives. I had some and they are beautiful animals, although for other people they are food in my country 😅.

@Derrick the fuck yall talkin bout Lewis Wow what a cutting retort, that really put me in my place. Firstly, just because an animal is an invasive species doesn't give somebody the right to aggravate or stress an animal for the purpose of amusement. Would you stick a camera in the face of an invasive hippo in Columbia? Or are you the kind of person who enjoys watching tormented animals... perhaps dog fighting, cock fighting, bull fighting etc.? Secondly, would you risk your dog being harmed to record this footage? Lastly, I don’t like oranges so I really couldn’t care less.
@Derrick the fuck yall talkin bout Lewis How much do you wanna bet the reason they're an invasive species because of humans like the lionfish or the python. Your logic is fucking retarded; using soy boy as a generic insult is sad.
@Derrick the fuck yall talkin bout Lewis ? the fuck is this kid sayin. you wont be talking much when they cut your testosterone and you turn into a little pussy bitch
Video should be called dog hoes up to invasive species in curiosity gets antsie and starts barking, teh tegu which is still invasive feels threatened so threatens the dog back; the dog having instincts continues to try to get the tegu, the video is then cut off. The tegu was most likely killed after shooting because it’s still very much invasive” you know...to say what really went off. Yes I don’t think wildlife should be harassed but tegus defending themself happens often even when not being filmed. If the man went up to grabbed it, it would still want to defend itself. This stress wasn’t gonna be avioded.
Well, these are an invasive species that like to eat eggs. They are a serious threat to American alligators. The harsh reality is that this animal shouldn't be there and should be captured and removed, and since it's not socialized... likely culled.
Synapsids(the group mammals are in) and Sauropsids(generally the group reptiles have been in) appeared at the same time,so the notion that reptiles are old and ancient is quite misleading,with most of the lizard clades we are familar with appearing only 30-40 million years ago.

Should be called “tegu defends itself against threatening dog and human”. Tegus, even wild ones, won’t do anything if you just leave them alone. It looks to me like you intentionally provoked it to get a video of one running. That’s horrible. The dog could have been seriously hurt or killed too, tegus have really sharp teeth and powerful jaws, and god knows what kind of infection the dog could’ve gotten from it. Also it wouldn’t be an invasive species if it weren’t for humans, and them being ‘invasive’ doesn’t give people the right to treat them like garbage. The only reason they’re in Florida is because people are fucking stupid and immoral and release an animal into the wild that should not be there when they can’t take care of it. Just because of this whole thing they’re so misunderstood, Argentine tegus are such cool lizards and they make great pets if you’re willing to make the commitment. They’re like dogs in lizards’ bodies
We're living in a time where people get killed for their political opinion and you have nothing better to do but bitch about some tegu? Dude, get a life!
São Paulo Soul I’ve got that same camera, it looked like he was just going to hit the record button when that happened. I don’t think he had started recording yet
Tegu legitimately looked stressed and desperate. Arching up to appear bigger, pretty sure running on its hinds was meant to have similar effect. Notice how hard the animal is breathing and that every time it runs the dog off it returns to someplace it seems to consider it's safe space. Honestly feel bad for the tegu likely neglected and abandoned scavenging for food then just randomly has an animal big enough to be a natural predator roll up and fixate on her while the dogs owner records. Hell, anyone notice the tail's been recently grown back?
This is supposed to say “dog harasses tegu and gets what it asked for”. The tegu just wants some space. It’s to bad ignorant keepers made them invasive and now the tegus get killed.
Alternative title by somebody with more than a quarter of a brain; Human and Dog harass Tegu, then are surprised when the stressed and threatened lizard attacks them. But it doesn’t have fur or make cute sounds, so people on TH-cam will eat your shit up.
Tegus are the dogs of lizards they don't run unless they have a way to escape, but they stand their ground and charge at anything comes within their personal space...
how the fuck did those lizards went to USA ? We have lots of them in Brazil , we call it " teiú" here. Those lizards are brave , they defend themselves against bigger animals. A beautiful animal.
Not gonna lie, but the tegu could really injure that dog and maybe so kill it, and tegu are not that agressive. I have had multiple and once didn't train one for months. Of course they get defensive and try to bite or attack but they're not going to do it out of nowhere
Argentine black and white tegus weigh 15 lbs. I'm not sure what kind of dog that is, but assuming its a german shepherd, the lizard is outweighed by atleast 50 lbs. I'd be much more worried for the lizard than the dog honestly, as it could have gotten seriously hurt whether the dog was playing or being aggressive.
Yeah and that's a rather small young tegu, you should see them at full size. There was a deleted video of an adult grabbing a golden retriever and attacking it.
I've never met an agressive Tegu, though I understand they can become that way... This one appears to simply be defending himself. These guys are pretty docile and social. Cool pets. Needs social interactions so they know friend from foe.
Okay first of all if that is actually someone recording this you really should go put your dog inside. I know tegus look super cute and funny but they can seriously injure your dog in only a few seconds. They are very powerful lizards. Lastly just put your dog inside so both the lizard and the dog won't feel threatened. Then you can generally just wait until the tegu leaves or you can scare it off. You are 3 times its size, and it will be afraid of you lol. Other than that, I do appreciate the opportunity to see a tegu full blown sprint at something.
Love the video and love reptiles, especially monitor lizards. However, I feel this is a bit irresponsible. One this size could have raked the dogs leg to shreds down to the bone in less than 1 second. Just search for ‘iguana bite’ or Tegu bite on here and watch some of those.
If it had attacked the dog, the dog had provoked it. The dude filming really should’ve had his dog under control instead of continuing to provoke this lizard. It was just minding its own business. If you don’t want your pet hurt by a big lizard outside, keep your pet under control and away from the big lizard. It’s that easy.
They laughing into it gets them im a dog person but they're provoking this lizard and I see he is defending his self which probably happens in most cases but they want to ban him.
There's a lot of negative comments and I can see why but I like the video because most people have dogs and anyone who is thinking about getting one of these Tegus might want to see what would happen if you put them together
This isn't really a representative example. You can check other videos on youtube for proof, but reptiles and other mammalian pets are perfectly capable of living together in the same household if they're properly introduced to one another and supervised during interactions.
Tegus and monitors in the same environment? I wonder who hunts who. BTW, this tegu has re-grow his tail. I guess life is tough for tegus there. Here I see they in the wild, and I've never seem a tegu with a re-grown tail.
Tegus are some of the chillest lizards, but when they're in the wild and feel threatened, they don't fuck around. Awesome pets, it's a shame that they get hunted in the Southern States since they thrive in the environment while they aren't native to the US. They love going for the unguarded egg nests.

Your dog might be injured as well considering how sharp the claws are. Also if you were there with your dog, don't let the dog disturb the Tegu who's just trying to mind it's own business and who was defending himself please
@@trentbateman Sure but let the professional people do it... I don't want the dog to get hurt just because some dumb person decided to set his dog on the lizard because he thought that it was better than the lizard...
Dogs are fucking annoying to other small animals. My neighbours had a dog that would terrorize any other smaller animal in the yard and around it. When it spoted a toad for example, he would forgo any activity to chase it. You could call him and not pay attention to you. No wonder after that dog not even little toads and lizards stayed on the area. Sadly the tegu didn't seriously bite the dog in order to make him cry and shit itself.
Everybody gangsta until a huge lizard runs on it's hind legs...

They are not attacking each other,
They are best friends and playing tag
Do tegus always drop there tails or only once.
Self defence
hahahahahah i hope my boy sal doesnt run at me like this one day
Tegu defends itself from dog and creepy camera guy👍🏽
Do you expect the Tegus to just sit there and let the dog kill it? Most animals will defend themselves. Fortunately the dog was not bitten.
Can we feed them to the wild pigs? They're not fussy about what they eat.
My tegu did this to me today, fortunately it’s still small
That lizard was doing the c-walk!
That’s like the rooster I had. He would chase you. But I think all Roosters are like that.
“Mmmyaaaa a wise guy eh”-lizard
This happens because dogs rarely get pulled away by there owners.
You made a mistake, Tegu doedn't attack dog, Dog attacks Tegu
The tegu was defending itself. The dog was the one trying to attack
Neither was attacking,
Smh
"Tegu defends itself from fat dog while owner films"
Tegu was lucky! had it been my pressa Max, that Tegu would have been hamburger meat.
Your dog might be injured as well considering how sharp the claws are. Also if you were there with your dog, don't let the dog disturb the Tegu who's just trying to mind it's own business and who was defending himself please
@@faelan5360 tegu is invasive...need to be exterminated in wild in US
@@trentbateman Sure but let the professional people do it... I don't want the dog to get hurt just because some dumb person decided to set his dog on the lizard because he thought that it was better than the lizard...
Dogs are fucking annoying to other small animals. My neighbours had a dog that would terrorize any other smaller animal in the yard and around it. When it spoted a toad for example, he would forgo any activity to chase it. You could call him and not pay attention to you. No wonder after that dog not even little toads and lizards stayed on the area. Sadly the tegu didn't seriously bite the dog in order to make him cry and shit itself.
Tegu it's what's for dinner or should be in Florida.
Would be funny when that mf gets ahold of you.... Record tht
The thumbnail shows it roaring and yet it never roars
They don't roar. They just open their mouth to prepare to bite.
reptiles don't roar, they hiss like smaller cats
This Kinda has me wondering about the Trex..... Could it have been a slithering lizard like a tegu that ran on two legs to catch prey?
Destiny Mink uhhh. No.
Poor tegu
Too funny! I cant help it! I'm laughing so hard that I have tears! 🤣
wear full body armor with thick boots and gloves and use a trident spear, you can face against them all day.
Please dont hurt the lizard. He is not doing anything wrong to you. Please.
If there will be a wild dog then unfortunately tegu.. 💀💀💀
Tegu throwing up crip signs while running him
Bloody dogs and cats.
The dog is faster running backwards
Tegus are lightning quick.
Tegus are AWESOME!
