Los Angeles, Dec 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Who would ever believe that a lizard will be able to play a game? Well if you try something the creature loves, may be it will be a motivation for the animal to play the game. A YouTube video shows a lizard playing the mobile game Ant Crusher.

To start, the animal seems to have the game and the device tailored for it. The owner has the game installed on HTC smartphone and placing it in front of the animal gets the creature into action. Curiously, the animal turns and looks at the owner to restart the game whenever a session is over.

Only if the animal could see the whole picture. The animal keeps eating ant after ant but it is always left with empty stomach or worst still it spends what it had in the stomach prior to the game.

This is not the first time that another species apart from the human race has learnt to “use” a tool. A fish which is capable of holding a tool made the news recently. Scientists say it is not unusual to get animals to adapt to changes and learn to use tools.
