Iguana Found Wandering in Parking Lot

Residents of a Florida apartment complex were shocked when they found a large iguana roaming around the parking lot. The 5-foot-long lizard was first spotted by Ashley Mateo, who snapped a picture of it and shared it on social media.

"This is not what you expect to see when you're walking to your car," Mateo wrote in her post. "I imagine it just escaped from someone's home."

People in the area quickly began sharing tips for catching the iguana, with some offering to help capture it. One person even claimed to have a trap set up for the animal.

In the end, it took several people working together to finally catch the iguana. They used a net and caught it as it was trying to hide under a car.

The iguana was later released back into the wild where it belongs. While this incident may have been alarming for some people, it's important to remember that lizards are common in Florida and they typically don't pose a threat to humans.

Police Seek Owner of Iguana Found Wandering in Parking Lot

The police department in a small town in upstate New York is asking the public for help in locating the owner of a large iguana that was found walking around in a parking lot.

The iguana, which is green with black stripes, was spotted by a local resident who reported it to the police. Officers searched the area but were unable to find anyone who claimed ownership of the reptile.

"We're not sure how long the iguana had been there or what it was doing in the parking lot," said one of the officers involved in the search. "But we're hoping that someone will come forward and claim it."

Iguanas are not native to New York, so it's likely that the animal was either brought into the state illegally or had escaped from its home. If no one comes forward to claim it, the iguana may be turned over to a local animal shelter.

Iguana Causes Traffic Jam on Highway

Yesterday, an iguana caused Traffic Jam on Highway. The iguana was first spotted on the shoulder of the highway. It then slowly made its way to the middle of the highway, stopping traffic in both directions.

Some drivers got out of their cars to take pictures of the iguana while others just sat in their cars and waited for the iguana to move.

The iguana eventually moved to the side of the road and traffic started moving again.

There have been several sightings of iguanas on the highway in recent weeks. It's not clear why they are there or what they are doing.

Iguana Spotted on Sidewalk in Downtown Area

Residents of a downtown area awoke Wednesday morning to find an iguana taking a leisurely walk down the sidewalk.

Pictures and videos of the unusual sight quickly spread on social media, with many speculating as to how the reptile ended up in the city.

Jefferson Mora, who took a video of the iguana, said he was on his way to work when he saw the animal.

"I thought it was a big lizard at first, but when I got closer I could see that it was an iguana," Mora said. "It was very calm; it didn't seem scared or anything."

Mora said he saw the iguana near a bus stop on Poydras Street, and that it eventually made its way onto Canal Street. He added that there were quite a few people watching and taking photos of the animal throughout its journey.

Officials with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries were not available for comment, but one resident guessed that the iguana may have escaped from someone's home or from a pet store in the area.

Iguana Seen Roaming Neighborhood

The Iguana, a large lizard typically found in Central America and parts of South America, has been spotted in a Northern Virginia neighborhood.

Iguanas can measure up to six feet in length and weigh up to 18 pounds. They are known for their bright green coloring and long tails. The reptiles are considered a nuisance by many homeowners because they often damage gardens and landscaping.

Iguanas are not native to the United States and are illegal to own or keep as pets in the country. It is unclear how the animal ended up in Northern Virginia, but wildlife officials say they will be looking into it.

Residents of the neighborhood where the Iguana was seen have been warned to be on the lookout for the animal and to call police if they see it.
