There's more to add to that list of invasive species you just found out about and already don't like. Georgia officials are working to completely eradicate a lizard they say poses a major threat to some of the state's native wildlife: the Argentine black and white tegus. John Jensen, a biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Conservation Section, said the lizard can grow up to about 4 feet in size and can eat "just about anything they want."

Get Stacy Abrams on the case. She can wipe out the lizard by eating them

Rednecks are going to have fun with this.

Just put spyware on their phones and do contact tracing.

Lizard and grits?

I thought he retired? .

Are they wearing masks? I mean the officials, not the lizards.

How can you apprehend them while maintaining social distancing guidelines? And do they taste like chicken?

[calico_thompson]

Have the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Conservation group travel to Louisiana for recipes, and write a cookbook.

Man spots little Boudreaux walking down the road with a Mud Hen.

LB: Eat him
M: Are they good eating?
LB: Better than Owl.

IMO, turn the gold ole boys loose and watch them disappear.

Big Foot protects the invisible lizards. It’s what is known as a symbiotic relationship.
Yes, i do watch a lot of nature films. :)

I was going to say they had better get out there and hunt the things to extinction, or as close as they can.
