Florida: The National Weather Service in Miami issued a warning that not many people around the world have heard off on Tuesday.
Residents in Miami, Florida were told to watch out for falling frozen iguanas as the temperatures are expected to drop to extremely low numbers.
On January 21, 2020, the National Weather Service of Miami tweeted the warning.
The tweet said, “This isn’t something we usually forecast, but don’t be surprised if you see Iguanas falling from the trees tonight as lows drop into the 30s and 40s. Brrr!”
The warning also explained that Iguanas may look like they’re dead.
They may act like they’re dead, but in reality, they’re not.
When reptiles are exposed to cold temperatures, their blood doesn’t move around as quickly as it should, as a result, they become stiff and lose grip to trees and fall.
Iguanas would wake up as soon as the temperatures rise again.
But the news doesn’t really bother the people in Florida.
Iguanas are considered as an invasive species in the state of Florida as the state offers warm temperatures.
Iguanas are not that dangerous to humans, but they are considered a nuisance.
They are capable of damaging sidewalks and other public properties as they are known to dig long tunnels.
Male Iguanas are capable of growing to up to 5 feet long and can weigh up to 20 pounds.
On the other hand, female iguanas can lay nearly 80 eggs per year.
