It's definitely  not an Alligator like we saw earlier in the week, but man does it look like one...

A large lizard was found in Dearborn Heights on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 9, according to a Facebook post by City of Dearborn Heights Ordinance and Animal Control.

The lizard was found near North Brookside and Heather Lane and was then transported to Michigan Humane Society. People have thrown around some guesses of its species — tegu or monitor lizard, though nothing was confirmed by the department. Both are considered a small species and have been known to be house pets.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
