SCHWERIN, Germany (Reuters) -
At another hotel, police located two more young iguanas
belonging to the man, who was now receiving medical attention.
The police said Monday there was no need for panic. Iguanas pose
no danger to humans except through a hefty swish of their tails
when they feel threatened.
German police said they were looking for an escaped
iguana, which a man had earlier tried to use as payment for a
hotel bill. Rostock police said the ''clearly disturbed''
36-year-old man had released the 5-foot-long lizard after a
hotel in the northeastern town refused to accept his unusual
alternative to cash and called the police.
