CARTERVILLE, Ill. — Joanna, the lizard that went on the lam for nearly a month, will be living a life of leisure near the sunny beaches of Miami.
The 20-pound, 6-foot-long Asian water monitor gained notoriety shortly after she escaped on June 18 from her cage and took refuge in the Lake Moses area in southern Illinois.
In the weeks that followed, Joanna was sighted occasionally but evaded capture by slipping back into the lake or surrounding ponds.
Joanna finally was captured on July 16 by the Franklin County Sheriff's Department and her owner, Derek Freeman, after she emerged from a pond and was surrounded by four men.
Freeman believes she was making a run for it so she could get as far away from the lake as possible.
"She just couldn't get any 'down time' there," he said. "She was looking for a little peace and quiet, so she left the lake in search of just that."
