I learned this week that SW Florida…specifically Cape Coral… is home to an invasive lizard even more dangerous than an iguana.
The Nile Monitor is bigger, faster and more elusive than the Iguana.
It eats anything, including small pets…and will even attack humans with razor sharp teeth and claws if cornered.
Plus, unlike iguanas, the Nile Monitor isn’t stunned by cold temperatures.
Both lizards are considered invasive and listed as “prohibited” under Florida law and can be “humanely euthanized” b
