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.

Officials are sharing more details on the two-week escape of a large lizard from a Webster, Massachusetts, home, which ended Saturday with the animal’s successful capture.

Goose, a five-foot-long monitor lizard on the loose for a couple of weeks, was spotted in the Bay State after he was seen in Connecticut.
