Italian Wall Lizards Appear in Greenwich
The non-native reptile has popped up numerous times in town.
GREENWICH, CT—Italian wall lizards have begun to appear in town. They may be coming to Greenwich the same way many of the town's residents do in the evenings; Metro-North.
The lizards typically live in a warmer climate, but have somehow managed to adapt, according to Greenwich Time.
A pet truck crashed in the Bronx during the 1960's and a number of the creatures escaped and thrived.
The loose gravel between train tracks provides good shelter for the lizards.
