We heard from our friend in Florida that with the extremely unusual cold Florida is experiencing the area is dealing with an unusual problem. Iguana are falling from the sky - well, sort of.
Iguana lie in the upper branches of palm trees so that they can bask in the heat of the sun. The recent cold has the Iguana going into a type of hibernation- self preservation from the low temperatures.
The problem is that while they're in this state of suspended animation, the Iguana have a tendency to fall out of the trees. Apparently they are unharmed by the fall and when the temperatures rebound during the day the Iguana shake themselves off and scramble back up the trees.
Can you imagine strolling along and having a lizard fall on your head?
Maybe Iguana stoles will become the new fashion. Simply drape the reptile over your shoulders when it falls on you. That could be interesting. You would never know when your stole might wake up and flick it's tongue in your ear.
