He\u2019s just strutting across the road. He\u2019s heading to the other side of the road.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When a child asked if she should get closer to the 5-foot-long reptile, an adult replied: &#8220;Nope, just stay in the car.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aland wrote on Facebook: &#8220;Did a double take today driving down Hillsboro [Boulevard] today\u2026. Called FWC and reported with the location\u2026 this Asian Water Monitor was around 5ft long\u2026 I had been sitting there waiting to see it again as they wouldn\u2019t even make a report without photographic proof. It was seen coming out of the woods near the canal on Hillsboro Blvd behind the Kia dealership and just south of Bamboo [road].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aland told <i>WBBH-TV <\/i>that she at first thought the lizard was an alligator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we got closer, I looked, and I saw his tongue, [a] lizard tongue coming out, and I was like, \u2018Oh, crap, that\u2019s not a gator!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aland stated: &#8220;It was really cool, never seen anything like that before, but the concern is what it is doing to our native wildlife. Obviously, they\u2019re pretty voracious eaters, so I can\u2019t imagine they\u2019re good for our ecosystem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The massive lizard is native to southern and Southeast Asia. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Asian monitor is common as a pet and not illegal to own.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geo.tv\/latest\/547255-giant-lizard-in-florida-stuns-onlookers\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giant lizard was seen on the sides of the road in Florida \u2014 Facebook\/Renee Aland A huge lizard was witnessed wandering on a Hillsboro Boulevard in Deerfield Beach Florida according to several pictures and videos surfaced on social media.
