The iguana looks like it has absolutely no idea why this weird little bird decided to use it as a couch😂

u/Wetness_everdeeen 15h ago

I bet its the opposite. This is the one iguana (cold bloded) that learned that penguins (warm bloded) are warm all night.

New movie in the works. The adventures of Pengo and Iggy.

Theme song: Lust for life. And the Iguana is voiced by Iggy Pop. Pengo voiced by Juno Temple.

u/ImNotAWhaleBiologist 15h ago

And the have a musical number with the theme song. But the rest of the movie they’re just doing drugs.

"Not to worry my long-tailed friend. There are many iguana in the sea. And you have wingman who swims."

u/SylphideEstelle 16h ago

That's such a fun way to put it! Those two really do seem like they're enjoying a relaxed moment side by side.

u/MeanBrilliant837 20h ago

This is precious!! The penguin island at the Galapagos had about 14 residents the year I went. This is so rare

u/juicebar24 21h ago

Well Iggy, it's just you and me

u/capt_minorwaste 19h ago

Edwardo may have been born a penguin but from an early age, deep down, he felt like an iguana. Edwardo was just living out his reality. Here he is pictured with his lovely bride Marge.

There's also a cute little crab at the bottom of the pic. 🦀

“Well I’ll be damned. Two new species in as many minutes.”

u/pandora_0x3 21h ago

The iguana is basically using the penguin as a pillow.

u/Radiant-Fox-2126 20h ago

How cute are they? I bet their combined look could star in a heartwarming nature documentary!

u/Radiant-Fox-2126 19h ago

Or maybe a new movie Penguin of Galapagos: A love Affair

u/koreankkwr 21h ago

Well it looks like reptile island

u/HarbourJayKay 19h ago

I would send this to my daughter. But she would just tell me it’s AI.

When you’re down, and troubled, and you need a helping hand. And nothing, nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there.

u/Few_Indication3761 20h ago

they look like they're waiting for the same bus and pretending not to know each other

u/Cultural-Whole-156 19h ago

the penguin looks like he's pretending not to know the iguana but they definitely came together

Their love was forbidden. Then they found out they had a common ancestry.

u/idkidd 15h ago

In their movie, I hear the penguin as Rhys Darby and the iguana as Matt BERRY.
