A Nigerian priestess has become the talk of social media after sharing a video of herself feeding her unusual pets, a group of monitor lizards, while dancing happily in the process.
In the clip, the priestess is seen bringing out three or four monitor lizards, one of which appears to be pregnant, and feeding them eggs as they gathered around her.
Rather than treating the moment as a routine chore, she turned it into a lively display, dancing energetically and clearly enjoying every bit of the unusual bonding session with her reptilian companions.
Her evident joy and comfort around the animals struck many viewers, especially given how unconventional it is to see monitor lizards kept and cared for as pets in such a close, hands-on manner.
The relaxed, almost playful relationship between the priestess and her lizards added an extra layer of intrigue to the footage.
The video has since gone viral, with netizens flooding the comment section with a mix of amusement, curiosity, and admiration for her fearless approach to what many would consider an unusual choice of pet.
Several users have said they cannot get enough of the clip, replaying it for both the dancing and the rare sight of the lizards being fed like household pets.
As of now, the priestess has not shared further details about how long she has kept the animals or what role they play in her spiritual practice.
