Iguana on the loose in California!

Wildlife officials in California are on the lookout for an iguana that has been spotted roaming around the state. The 3-foot long lizard is not native to California and officials are worried that it may be a health hazard since it could carry the salmonella virus.

Iguanas are typically found in tropical climates and they can grow up to 6 feet long. They are considered a "nuisance animal" by wildlife officials because they can often damage crops or gardens. They can also be dangerous to pets and small children.

If you see an iguana in California, please call the police or wildlife officials immediately. Do not attempt to capture the lizard yourself – it may be dangerous.

Iguana found nesting in Florida home

Residents in a neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida were quite surprised when they discovered an iguana had taken up residence inside one of their homes. According to News4JAX.com, the homeowners found the iguana inside the home on Monday morning and called animal control.

Iguanas are not native to Florida, but they have been known to migrate there from warmer climates in search of food and shelter. They can grow up to six feet long and are known for being aggressive when threatened.

Animal control officers were able to catch the iguana and released it back into the wild.

Iguana Invasion!

In the small town of Tres Hermanas, iguanas have been invading people's yards and homes.

"It's been really bad lately, they're all over the place," said local resident Sebastian Mendoza. "I've seen them in my garden, in my house, and even on the roof!"

The iguanas are apparently coming from the nearby jungle, looking for food and shelter. They've been causing a lot of damage, raiding gardens and eating fruit trees. Some residents have even reported that the iguanas have been trying to get into their homes.

"I was about to go to bed when I heard this noise coming from my kitchen," said one woman. "I turned on the light and there was this big iguana just standing there! I'm so scared of them now."

Authorities are currently working to find a solution to the problem, but so far they haven't had much luck. The iguanas are proving to be quite challenging to catch. In the meantime, residents are being advised to keep their doors and windows closed and to avoid leaving food outside.

Texas family finds iguana in their swimming pool

A Texas family found a surprise swimming in their pool - an iguana.

The lizard was about four feet long and was sunning itself on the deck adjacent to the pool when it suddenly slid into the water.

"It was just kind of shocking," said homeowner Chelsey Villanueva. "We had no idea what it was. We googled it and then we were like, 'oh my gosh, it's an iguana!'"

The family managed to corner the reptile and scoop it out of the pool with a net. Chelsey's husband then released it back into their yard, where they believe it had been living for some time.

"It kind of makes you feel like you're being watched," Villanueva joked.

Iguana spotted crossing a Michigan street

In a scene reminiscent of the classic movie "The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire", an iguana was spotted crossing a street in Michigan.

The iguana, which is native to Central and South America, was first seen by motorists on Thursday morning as it made its way from one side of the street to the other.

Though many people stopped to take pictures and videos of the unusual sight, no one was brave enough to try and catch the reptile.

Iguanas are not typically found in Michigan, so it's unclear how this one ended up there. Some people have speculated that it may have escaped from a pet store or zoo, while others believe that it may have been brought over from another country illegally.

Regardless of how it got there, the iguana is now a local celebrity and is sure to capture the imaginations of people all across the state.
