This is a lizard called "Asian Water Monitor" or Varanus Salvator, of nearly 1.60 meters long and 9 kilograms in weight, which is not native to the region. His capture was made at Key Largo.

The reptile, which had been last seen in October 2017, is native to Southeast Asia. They explained to the CCF that their research was primarily aimed at avoiding the establishment of this species in the region.

As the organization posted on its Facebook account, FWC staff and volunteers were setting up traps to capture the animal. "Thanks to the hard work of the experts, he has helped protect the wildlife of our state," said FWC.
