Schwerin - German police said yesterday 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" man of 36 had released the 1.5-metre-long lizard after a hotel in the north-eastern town refused to accept his unusual alternative to cash and called the police.
At another hotel, police located two more young iguanas belonging to the man, who was now receiving medical attention.
