Meanwhile in Florida, it's raining.... #iguanas
I hear the stories & see some on TV, but haven't witnessed this in SW FL.
But I happened across this story tonight on DW News (Germany!) - very well-done and... provocative.

Humans are the only invasive species I'm aware of and I say that because our invasions are planned.

Florida iguanas are 'cold stunned' and falling from trees

🦎❄️ When temperatures in #Florida drop below 7ºC (45°F), invasive green #iguanas undergo a strange transformation. As cold-blooded #animals, their bodies essentially "freeze" in place to protect their hearts and brains.
They lose their grip on tree branches and tumble to the ground in a state of suspended animation – usually waking back up as soon as the sun comes out.

Millions of years ago, iguanas achieved an extraordinary feat by rafting 5,000 miles from North America to Fiji on floating vegetation—the longest known transoceanic journey by a land vertebrate.

#Iguanas on the remote islands of Fiji may appear to live chill lives, but according to new research they had to work for it: by floating across thousands of miles of ocean on vegetation in the last 30 million years or so.

The trek—from the North American desert to Fiji—now represents the longest known migration of any terrestrial animal. -

Iguanas floated one-fifth of the way around the world to colonize Fiji. Researchers find that Fiji iguanas are most closely related to the North American desert iguana — evidence of the longest known transoceanic dispersal of any land animal.

Salí a ver unos pájaros y me topé con esta iguana tomando el sol, quizás no se aprecia bien en la foto pero tenía escamas de un color muy intenso, si me hubieran enseñado un render perfecto en computadora hubiera pensado es falsa 😯
La subí a iNaturalist por si alguien sabe la especie https://costarica.inaturalist.org/observations/252972960
