A large lizard is on the loose in Old Town. The tegu was seen in the area of Hillside Avenue, according to the Old Town Police Department. “While not inherently aggressive, they can lash out if they feel threatened,” the department said Sunday. Tegus have sharp teeth and claws and strong jaws. They can grow up to four feet long and weigh 10 pounds or more. They are native to Argentina.
