Anderson Cooper has interviewed some extreme people in his time.
But none may be as wacky as Henry Lizardlover, a man who has turned reptilian posing into an art form.
Mr Lizardlover, 58, (yes, that's his official name; he changed it in 1986 as a symbol of his fondness for the reptiles) trains his pets to 'sit' in different poses.

The self-proclaimed 'very eccentric man' will feature on Anderson Cooper's daytime show tomorrow with a host of other extreme pet owners.
On a live link from Hollywood, Mr Lizard Lover says that his pets are very happy with his hobby.
'These are very calm, tame lizards and they are just very comfortable,' he says.
On his website, Mr Lizard Lover denies that he uses any 'tricks', such as low temperatures or belly rubbing, to make the animals do what he requires.
Also featured on the show are two dog owners who dye their fluffy charges' fur with bright, rainbow colours.
One pet owner, Anais, dyed her dog Swinger green for the television interview.
She says that Swinger loves the attention he gets thanks to his radical fur and that there is no danger to his health as the tints are made from non-toxic vegan vegetable dyes.
Beyonce, the world's smallest dog, also makes a miniature appearance.
The three-month-old Dachshund-Chihuahua-Mini-Pinscher mongrel was the runt of (an already tiny-sized) litter and is smaller than an iPhone.
Nymbus, the swimming cat, also makes his onscreen debut by demonstrating his best kitty paddle.
Mary, Nymbus' owner, taught the white, long-haired feline how to swim to stop any danger of the pet drowning in the back yard pool.
'You could see he was confident, he wasn't scared. You are trying to calm the cat so if they do fall in, they know how to get out,' she says.
