This non-native burglar was simple to area.
A brilliant orange 3-foot-long iguana weighing 10 pounds was identified on a tree limb at Colorado’s Cherry Creek State Park near Denver, Arapahoe County animal control officers said on Twitter, now rebranded as X.
But Cori Wylde, an animal control officer who reacted to the report Wednesday, Aug. 16, wasn’t alarmed — she when had an animal iguana, authorities said.
Wylde recorded the errant reptile, which is now being held at the animal shelter. If it goes unclaimed by its owner, the lizard will be committed a rescue organization.
Photos published by the company reveal the brilliant orange iguana on a fence post and being held by Wylde at the shelter.
Iguanas are some of the world’s largest lizards, according to AZ Animals.
“Depending on their species, iguanas can reach anywhere from 7 inches to a whopping 6 feet long and weigh between 0.5 pounds and 15 pounds,” AZ Animals said.
Cherry Creek State Park, that includes a tank, has to do with 15 miles southeast of Denver.
