Who Says There's No Wildlife in the Big City?

It may surprise you to learn that I'm not exactly a fan of reptiles. Or of any animal with creepy feet, for that matter. Anyway, since I left Fort Lauderdale almost 10 years ago, they have become inundated with iguanas. It's not unusual to see these giant lizards (some more than 3 feet long) running across the road or even sunning out by the pool. My parents frequently have them basking on the roof of their shed in the back yard. But that still didn't prepare me for what I saw when I opened the blinds in my bedroom the other day. I have to admit, I grew kinda fond of the little guy though. I named him Elliott.
