Lizardman 'with two tongues' opens museum

A self-confessed freak who has undergone surgery to make himself look more like a lizard has helped to open a new London exhibition of oddities.

Lizardman, real name Erik Sprague, has had his teeth filed down to points and Teflon implanted on his forehead to create “horned ridges” above his eyes.

The 36-year-old has also had his tongue cut in two to resemble a snake’s, and is able to move both halves independently.



Lizardman, from Austin, Texas, showed off the results of his surgery – including 600 hours of work to cover his entire body with tattoos - at a party to celebrate the opening of Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Piccadilly Circus.

He was joined at the event by another human freak known as Stalking Cat, who has had a range of plastic surgery to make his face more feline.

Dennis Avner, 50, has also had tiger stripes tattooed on his body and attaches synthetic whiskers to a piercing through his lip every day.
