FFor residents of southern Florida, there has been a weather warning of the animal type for a change: you shouldn’t be surprised if you see frozen iguanas falling from trees, the office of the National Weather Service in Miami said. Because for Tuesday a temperature drop to -1 to 4 degrees is expected in the region. “Brrr!” Added the weather service appropriately.
The unusual cold stuns the lizards, but does not necessarily mean their death. Many should wake up on Wednesday already thanks to rising temperatures.
Iguanas are not dangerous to humans, but can damage dams, sidewalks and foliage and dig long tunnels. Male specimens can be up to 1.50 meters long and weigh nine kilos. Females usually lay almost 80 eggs a year, and the warm climate in southern Florida is ideal for prehistoric animals.
