Russian couple keeps a giant lizard as a pet

Photographer Galina Sokolova, 35, from Moscow, Russia, has had Echo the lizard for four years, after taking him in when he was three years old. Despite his appearance, Echo is as friendly and gentle as any other pet and loves to share moments with his owners. Oleg is the name of the lizard's favorite owner who regularly climbs into the chair next to him and shares cuddles with his best friend.
