Yes, you read that right, BUZZ fam.

Temperatures have plummeted so low in

Florida that green iguanas, shocked by the cold, are falling from suburban trees

across the state.

Thermometers dipped below four degrees Celsius

(40 degrees Fahrenheit) in parts of South Florida, according to the National

Weather Service in Miami on Wednesday.

The snap cold is freezing the reptiles in

state atop Florida’s trees, however, experts noted that it doesn’t necessarily

mean the animals are dead.

The iguanas have a good chance of thawing

out if they are moved into the sun, but residents are being advised not to

touch the animals, as they are known to bite once they warm up sufficiently.

Kristen Sommers, who oversees the non-native

fish and wildlife programme for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation

Commission, told CBS News that the iguanas get sluggish, ultimately freezing up

as temperatures drop.

The cold-blooded creatures are native to

Central and South America, but in the US, they are categorised as an invasive species.

The iguanas are not the only reptiles

affected by the cold snap as biologists have been rescuing stunned sea turtles

found floating along or near the Florida shoreline.
