MONITOR LIZARD
Fido the lizard on the loose
Police have asked the general public to steer clear of a two and a half-stone
Monitor Lizard that has escaped from an aquarium at a flat in Hull, and on
the loose in the built up area. Humberside police stated that although the
creature is not poisonous, it may bite if confronted. A
spokeswoman added: "The owner of Fido said he might try to find a
place that he can feel secure, such as a pile of rubbish or leaves. "He
will only eat something the size of a large rat but will not attack anything
bigger unless provoked. "In this temperature he may only survive three
to five days."
