Shared on Instagram, the video shows a lizard doing ‘push-ups’ while standing on a rock. The video has amazed the netizens and may also have the same effect on you.
"Push-ups are fine and all, but...do you even lift, bro?" read a part of the detailed caption posted alongside the video on Instagram by the National Park Service.
In a detailed caption, the National Park Service explained that several lizard species in USA's Zion National Park perform ‘push-ups’ to show their strength, establish territory, and attract a mate. They also added how the lizards do the ‘push-ups’ by “elevating the head and upper body in vigorous up-and-down motions.” Then they wittily added, “Feel the burn yet?”
