Girl captures baby dinosaur.

There is a lot odd about this video, but it's also kind of cool to watch. There is the complete story-line on youtube but this one was the most interesting out of the set.

Quote from YouTube:
"The fearless lizard trapper, Erica, captures a giant Uromastyx microlepis lizard in the sands of Saudi Arabia !"

That's an adorable girl and she seems to be having a great time. Still, seems like a bad idea to teach your kids to hassle wild animals for amusement. The world doesn't need more Steve Irwins. . . Well, I guess we have zero Steve Irwins presently, let's try to keep it that way.

An American father and his daughter catching giant lizards in Saudi Arabia, the father knows exactly what species it is and what to expect its behavior to be, some how I doubt they're just harassing animals for shits and giggles. All I can say is that most people should be so lucky to experience such a childhood, quality if I've ever seen it.

I know what a uromastyx is, but I wouldn't sit there chasing it all over the place, holding it down for no reason. The thing is like a giant horned lizard only more exotic. What I don't understand is why it was way out in the middle of nowhere like that--no shelter or food can be seen in the video, and it was obviously feeling very vulnerable. If this reptile were gravid, it's likely that kind of stress could kill the babies.

Do shit with your kids, fine, but teach them to respect nature, not abuse it.
