Marvel Fans Are Losing It Over This Lizard That Looks Like Spider-Man

Some Marvel fans on Reddit are just discovering the existence of the Mwanza flat-headed rock agama, a lizard found in the deserts of Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda. Due to the males of the species having red bodies and blue legs, the animal is sometimes referred to as the Spider-Man agama. A recent post of a photo of the lizard has prompted such Marvel-themed responses as, "Is this.. Spiderman? Lmao," "They told him he could only cosplay as Dr Curtis (The Lizard). Wish they could see him now," "Lizard-Man, Lizard-Man. Does whatever a lizard can," and "If your a marvel fan than you can see the Toxin symbiote in this pic." You can take a look for yourself below.

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man in the 1960s, during the dawn of the Marvel Comics Universe. The character is now a cinematic icon, played by Tobey Maguire in the original Spider-Man trilogy, Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, and now by Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Captain America; Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
