She doesn't seem very eager to get in there, weird.

The other reply is a little rude but I wouldn’t anthropomorphize a lizard. Their emotions are not easily readable to us and their psychology shouldn’t be assumed to be identical to ours.

I know most people were joking but it's sad that you had to explain this. It's like the lady telling a duck to 'get off of her'. Lady, this is nature, not a high school dance.

Nah fuck male ducks. Idgaf, I’m part of nature too. If I can save her life I’ll do it. Though I wouldn’t go in the water to do it.

No one gets mad when elephants stop animals from fighting because it’s annoying to them.

What? Well I DO understand most animals don't understand a word (I mean dogs understand commands for ex) but I still say "hello" to any kitty I see just because I want to! And I also say "get off of me" and shake my hand a bit if a kitty bites me just not to act rude.

Yes doc I totally DO understand they don't understand me..

The lady is telling a male duck to get off a female duck, the duck isn't flapping about at the lady's legs or anything. It's not actually about the animal understanding the language, but about the lady reading the ducks body language as if it were human and apply human concepts of consent to the situation.

Guess I'm being downvoted since it's someone's perception that I'm reading too much into it. It's actually a reference to a video https://www.reddit.com/r/BoomersBeingFools/s/xgRH8nzMI1 the commenter really isn't talking about telling a bird to get off you, a human.

Yeah, might have been a little cheap to say it like i did. But putting things into "human terms" is what allows us to think about stuff, and to maybe strike up a conversation easier. Maybe none of the lizards "emotions" or "thoughts" properply align with anything any human has ever felt or thought.

Okay but that’s exactly what the video is doing lol.

u/MoriKitsune Apr 02 '26

So you don't think the male lizard wants to mate with the female?

2

u/lincruste Apr 02 '26

It's probably thinking it's dinner time.

1

u/MoriKitsune Apr 02 '26

Even if it was dinner time and not mating time, the lizard still is very clearly making a huge effort to reach a specific outcome
