"Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched? Our detectives found this curious iguana looking in the window of their office on the second floor," the department said. "Who knew that iguanas are great climbers?"

Green iguanas are considered an invasive species in Florida and have been blamed for damage to infrastructure including sidewalks and seawalls. The species is native to Central America, South America and some eastern Caribbean islands.
