There’s this story:
Georgia officials trying to stop large, invasive lizard that eats ‘anything they want’
The Argentine black and white tegu [..is a..] lizard that tops 4 feet long, sprints at nearly 20 mph and gobbles up everything from grasshoppers to young gopher tortoises, a rare native species.
Researchers caught one at a farm in Toombs County earlier this week, the sixth one documented in Georgia this year. Researchers caught three of them themselves, collected one that was a road-kill and were handed another two that a resident shot.
and then this photo and story:
AP photo: Godzilla (aka Gojira) appointed Shinjuku’s tourism ambassador in April
