Where abouts in Florida are you seeingthese iguanas and lizzards 5' long swimming around?

Yet both iguanas and monitors, if they get into the water, will still move their legs. This thing didn't.

Yep. Another one anyways. Clearer pictures of the original Abe posted about with link to the maker: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/photo_database/image/modern_day_diplocaulus/ This one in the vid looks more something you'd pick up in a museum gift shop.

Best watch out there bulveye, that thing looks massive! And as for the video I couldn't even see what we were meant to be looking at it was so damn blurry.

That's one of the rules for any footage of cryptids. It has to be blurry with a lot of movement of the camera.
