Police revealed that Goose,​ the five-foot-long water monitor lizard who escaped a home in Webster, Massachusetts,​ two weeks ago, was difficult to find because it had been hiding under tree roots, around two miles from its home.

The Massachusetts Environmental Police on Tuesday released a video of the capture of Goose, a 4-foot water monitor lizard that escaped from its Webster home on July 18. The footage was posted on the department’s Facebook page.
