Many residents believe the neighborhood, for the most part, is now free of large lizards.
The lizard hissed at Espinola. The lizard was fast, but not fast enough. After a few minutes, Espinola cornered the lizard near some bushes in his front yard and grabbed it by the neck. Meanwhile, neighbors gathered around while Espinola put the lizard in a pillow case and called 911. The crowd continued to grow as TV news and animal control officers rushed to the scene.
