WATCH: The Moment This Iguana Caused Eight Minute Delay In Tennis Match

There's something about animals invading sporting events that gives us all indescribable joy and happiness.

From the famous Anfield Cat to a Chicken avoiding every tackle during the 1986 European Cup Winners' Cup, that moment when an animal unexpectedly enters the fray - chaos ensues and we love it.

In one of the greatest animal interruptions ever, an Iguana caused havoc when Tommy Haas and Jiri Vesely were midway through their deciding set in a first-round match at the Masters 1000 event.

WATCH: The commentary during this bizarre and brilliant moment just makes this clip.

Tommy Haas took the opportunity to take a selfie with 'Iggy' the Iguana as the chaos continued for eight whole minutes:

There's something strangely satisfying about watching an Iguana race across a Tennis court. Don't ask me why but I replayed this clip several times. I don't regret my actions.

'Iggy' tried to make a jump for it, but the cameras obviously got to him on this occasion. Has the fame already got to this Iguana's head?

Hilarious scenes.

Thank you 'Iggy', for the good times, and the bad.
