Lizards the size of dogs are now spreading across the southern U.S, because why not?

The Argentine black-and-white tegu are native to South America, but in the last decade, the dog-sized lizards have been breeding and spreading across the U.S. in states like Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Louisiana and Alabama.

The lizards have been bred in Florida and were first sold as pets but some have escaped and bred on their own, causing them to multiply in unrestricted areas and numbers.

The Argentine black-and-white tegu, a large lizard that can grow up to four feet in length, has already proliferated widely throughout South Florida. But it’s not stopping there. https://t.co/ueP7Ogt7az
