Laura, the bubble-popping chameleon.
The wonderfully cute, emerald green reptile is going viral thanks to an adorable ability to – you guessed it – pop bubbles. Watching Laura use her tiny claw-like hands to take down bubble after bubble, much to the delight of her owner, it’s hard not to be jealous of such impressive hand-eye coordination.
Perched on her owner’s hand and bearing more than a passing resemblance to Baby Groot from the end of last summer’s smash Marvel hit ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, Laura sways as though in a Zen-like trance, bulbous eyes swollen like the very bubbles she takes such manic delight in popping. If Pixar were ever thinking of making a reptile version of The Karate Kid, well, I think we’ve found our star….
Either that, or just give her a cameo in Kung Fu Panda 3.
And if watching the teensy Laura commit a bubble genocide wasn’t filling your daily ‘joy quota’, then the delighted encouragement of her owner might just help you out. Mainly because Laura’s owner, Nick (@voemas), sounds suspiciously like deceased King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
However, one question remains: why doesn’t Laura just pop the bubbles with her tongue, like some kind of insane chameleon sharpshooter?
Now there’s a video we want to see.
