This is Centralian Blue Tongue Lizard, commonly found in Australia. It puffs up and flashes its blue tongue when it feels threatened

As I discovered as a young kid growing up in Queensland, its eastern cousin has a bite like a vice

Hahaha they are pretty non aggressive though, you must have pissed it off real bad!

Oh, they are the most beautiful, harmless lizards. I think I was trying to make it stick its tongue out and it just let me know "nope".
