PRO: A screenshot from the video.
When Australian Philip Gith realised his pet lizard was a better smartphone gamer than him, he didn't euthanise it for embarrassing him - he whipped out his camera.
And now the female bearded dragon he calls Crunch has become an internet celebrity due to its fondness for the smartphone game Ant Smasher (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bestcoolfungames.antsmasher&hl=en).
In the video Crunch is shown snapping up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTpldq3myV0) the on-screen ants and insects with her tongue to the tune of the Super Mario theme, and when the game stops the lizard looks up expectantly at its owner, angling for another round.
Gith, 21, who works as an apprentice mechanic in Brisbane, uploaded the video to YouTube about a month ago to show his mates and three weeks later it had only done about 300 views. Then he woke up one morning and had 1000 emails in his inbox.
