It is said that the animal that broke free from an exotic animal relocation van, was later rescued by the police. The comments received for video saw many users with horrific reactions and some concern for its well-being as the cold weather in Montreal is unsuitable for the cold-blooded reptile while others made hilarious puns on the animal.

What was the temperature in Montreal today? Poor lizard must have been freezing.

Alligator! The difference being that he will see you later....whilst the croc will see you in a while. Apparently.

Poor thing is cold-blooded so it was probably doing it's very best to even cross the street- costs so much energy for a cold reptile! They can die from those temperatures too, if they're a species susceptible to freezing
