Seems NJ is a busy place for misplaced wildlife.
A woman spotted a 4-foot “surprise” resting in a tree outside her home and called 911, firefighters in New Jersey say.
Then, an unusual animal rescue ensued in Swedesboro on May 22, according to the Woolwich Fire Company.
Fire crews, police and animal control arrived to rescue a large, scaly reptile — a monitor lizard — that was sunbathing in the woman’s tree, the department’s Facebook post said.
“Not your ordinary basic animal rescue assignment.”
An animal control officer is seen getting a hold of the creature as it tries wriggling out of her grasp before she ultimately puts it into a kennel, according to video shared to YouTube by NJ.com.
