After two weeks of wandering around Massachusetts and Connecticut, Goose, the escaped water monitor lizard, has been captured, the Webster Police Department announced. Following his capture, Goose will be relocated to a nonprofit animal sanctuary.

Goose, the 5-foot-long water monitor lizard that escaped its home weeks ago, has been captured, according to the Webster Police Department. The Webster Police Department announced on their Facebook page Saturday the capture of the lizard, promising to have more details to share.

The lizard was spotted near Little Pond in Thompson late last month, confirming suspicions that Goose had crossed state lines. At the time, officials urged residents to avoid approaching the reptile and contact police if they came across it.
