A large lizard, estimated to be around 1 meter long, was spotted on a walking path in an apartment complex in the Gyeonggi Province of South Korea. The lizard is believed to be a water monitor lizard, which is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. This incident comes amidst reports of invasive species being spotted in urban areas during the rainy season. The lizard was later identified as a critically endangered species, and there have been no reports of similar incidents in the area. Authorities are investigating the possibility that the lizard is a pet that was lost by its owner.
