Leaping lizards! A large lizard was spotted skittering around a city in central Maine Sunday evening, police there said. The reptile, believed to be a Tegu, was spotted in the area of Hillside Ave in Old Town. Its current location is unknown, the Old Town Police Department said in a Facebook post. Old Town police originally thought the creature was a monitor lizard - the same species as the lizard that was on the loose in Webster, Mass. earlier this month - but believe it's a Tegu after hearing from residents, the department said.

"I just noticed something very weird and strange-looking that I'd never really seen before, so I walked over. It took my brain, like, three seconds to realize what it was."
