Baby Goat Gets A New Lease On Life Through A Special Wheelchair

The iguana which its owner has named Sid is about four feet long and weighs five pounds. So it's basically a small dinosaur.

The owner, who posted Sid's photo and story on Reddit said "I talked to my neighbor and let them know and they told me that the police department behind our houses came and were looking for the owner.

They would stuff and carry raw food in their spacious cheek pouches which they would then carry to their underground storage chambers. With their cheeks full, their heads can double or even triple in size.
