A rare winter cold snap sweeping across Florida has left large numbers of green iguanas, a non-native cold-blooded species, temporarily immobilized and falling from trees as temperatures dropped into the 30s.
Some unusual footage has drawn attention online. Influencer @stackz posted a video on Feb. 1 joking that he was trying to sleep under a pile of cold-stunned iguanas, creating what appeared to be a “blanket” of the reptiles. The iguanas were easy to capture because they were in a state of torpor, temporarily losing muscle control. In the video, @stackz said he did not kill the iguanas, adding, “We love everything with a heartbeat.”
