: CORNISH GUARDIAN (Truro, UK) 19 January 02 Animal Crackers!
: Zazu the pet iguana gets a cuddle from his teenage owner - blissfully unaware of the havoc she has caused.
: She went missing at Ashley Bray's home last week, and the family literally smashed their house up to hunt for her.
: Ashley and his father Richard, 42, gave up looking for the eight-year-old reptile after smashing holes in the kitchen, ceiling and newly-decorated bathroom.
: Ashley spotted Zazu's tail sticking out of a vent pipe in the kitchen. He went to grab her, but she disappeared further up the pipe and the hunt was on.
: They even called in Dynarod to use camera gear and mirrors at their home in Newton Abbot, Devon.
: Then they searched their loft - and those of four others in the terrace rank.
: Just as the family had given up all hope of seeing the three-foot long lizard again she reappeared.
: "We are all so relieved she has turned up, " said Ashley, who bought the pet six years ago.
: "My step-mother Sarah was taking some plates into the kitchen and she was just sat there by the cooker.
: "She is the only person in the house scared of Zazu and she screamed, ran out of the kitchen and ended up sitting on the dining table."
: Several flesh-eating pet lizards have been found feasting on the corpse of their owner in his apartment in the US. Officers were called to 42-year-old Ronald Huff 's apartment in Newark, Delaware, after he failed to show up for work. The cause of his death has not yet been determined.
