I was surprised to read that a cat eating lizard lives in Florida. It is a big nasty-looking beast and it is called a ‘tegu’. It comes from Argentina and it not native to America. I guess someone brought a couple over on a boat and it has bred ever since. And they are efficient breeders.
It is four feet long with sharp claws and teeth. It has a strong bite and they can swim well, even underwater for a long time. They eat ‘domestic animals’. Nice. One was seen in a Palm Bay neighborhood.
This unusual predator of the domestic cat must be another good reason why cat owners keep their cats inside.
This is not the first time a tegu has been spotted in Brevard County. If one is seen you are meant to note the location, take a photo and report the sighting to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC). Phone 1-888-483-4681.

Sadly yes, the ‘human’ is extremely dangerous and often mad.
Yes Michael and most would agree (myself included) that the most dangerous species of all are of the human kind… homo sapiens.
