While iguanas are usually harmless, if they bite, it can lead to infections. While netizens showed some concerns, but the video and the woman's reaction amused many. While one user tweeted that he was curious to find out the colour of her finger nails, another said that she wished she looked as good as the yoga instructor "during an animal attack."

The video shows the woman cursing at the iguana and threw sand, which again sent tweeples into a peal of laughter.
