Two photos I took back in 2022 of two Black Spiny-tailed Iguanas in San Miguel de Cozumel, when they were listed as being a vulernable species.

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.

> In Florida, unusually cold temperatures have sent the invasive green iguana population into temporary hibernation...

Thank you, German & British #media, for providing #ContextAndPerspective on the global impact of #TrumpVirus / #Epstein & Co.

Iguanas stunned by cold temperatures dropped from trees in usually balmy Florida on Sunday as icy conditions blasted southern US states, dumping nearly a half-meter of snow in some areas and whipping up high winds that caused traffic chaos. FRANCE 24's Monte Francis reports.

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

🦎❄️ 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.
