Perhaps he is hungry and the guy has a mouse in his pocket. ---

Hm. From the title I was picturing something more like this: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/hJlSr4LxS8U/maxresdefault.jpg "T-Rex Chase REMASTERED - Part 1 - Jurassic World Dinosaur Fan Movie") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJlSr4LxS8U) ---

I hear Komodo Dragons will chase people too, and it can get really exciting when they catch them. Disappointingly, there are few YouTube videos. ☹ ---

Iguanas are mostly in the trees. He instinctively knows to go higher. I was playing chase with my old dog ages ago. We were running a loop that ran through the kitchen into the living room and turned around in the den. I reversed direction on her when she couldn’t see me. She got an actual embarassed look on her face and refused to play any more. ---
