Someone Just Noticed That Chameleons Will Hold Onto Anything You Give Them, And It’s Hilarious
As it turns out, chameleons can entertain the crowd even when they’re not changing colors. Michigan-based artist Emma Ward has shared pictures of her pet reptile Olive grabbing tiny weapon props and the internet just couldn’t handle it.
Emma’s tweet has been liked almost 400,000 times and retweeted nearly 170,000 times, making Olive one of the most popular chameleons on the web. It even got a photo-response from a flying squirrel owner whose pets share the same hobby!
“Knowing she likes to grasp anything that goes in her hands, I thought Lego swords and Evangelion weapons would be an interesting idea,” Ward told Chron.com. She got the nearly 2-year-old Olive in April 2016 from a reptile exhibition in Detroit, and they have been best friends ever since.

Not flying squirrels... they are sugar gliders. You'd think the owner would know the difference.
Definitely. If she doesn't even know what they are, how the hell is she giving them the right food and care?
Exactly.. sugar glider need special care, compex staple diets.. if he/she didn't know what difference between flying squierrel and sugar flider how can the owner treat 'em right?
I may be wrong, but the first one even looks obese.
Maybe whoever sold it to her told her how to feed and care for it.
Agree, but perhaps... her first language isn't English and she didn't know the word; she didn't want people to google on what they are
yeah if you check his twitter he's japanese :)
I was just thinking that
up vote for your keen eye,but some people call something according to what they thought they were for the longest time, even when they realise,or are corrected...and go on calling it the same thing. not really a big deal considering the real problems in the world we have to deal with. 😀
Maybe you should fly there and tell the owner.
If the internet couldn't handle it, then why are people on the internet liking the photos and retweeting them?
I am really fed up of phrases like 'the internet couldn't handle it' - clearly 'the internet' can.
like that story of the boy crying wolf, one day there's gonna be a story that'll break the internet and we'll all be wondering, offline, how
agreed, the phrases "the internet couldn't handle it" and "broke the internet/ break the internet" need to die in a fire of rotting trash.
It's just an expression, not meant to be taken literally. That said, it's grossly overused.
i can't handle it, my phones too big.
It's ok Daniel, everything is ok.
Totally agree
MORE! MORE I SAY! Where can I find more?!?!
