This is the amusing moment an iguana stood on its hind legs while being fed a handful of bean sprouts.

Footage shows the green reptile balancing upright, eagerly waiting for its owner to hand over the snacks in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The lizard can be seen tilting its head upward as the woman carefully gives the seedlings on June 6.

Moments later, the animal climbs onto her hand, munching on the crunchy shoots while she giggles at its behaviour.

Iguanas are primarily herbivores, thriving on a diet of leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, and the occasional bean sprout treat. They're known to be curious and sometimes cheeky, often learning routines and responding to their keepers with surprising personality.
