Police are searching for the owner of a bearded dragon that was found in the street in New Hyde Park.
Police say they received a call around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday about a lizard under a garbage can near Lake Drive.
When officers arrived, they say the lizard was unresponsive because it was out in the cold.
The officers put the lizard in their patrol car to warm it up, before giving it to a wildlife rehabilitator.
Police say the lizard appeared to be in good condition and well fed.
Anyone with information regarding the lizard's owner is asked to call the Third Precinct at 516-573-6300.
