Only in Florida.
With the abnormally cold temps, iguanas are freezing in the Sunshine state, and falling out of trees. Because of this, a man from Central America who now lives in Florida had quite the surprise recently.
More from NPR:
And in Central America, iguana is a delicacy. It’s something – they’re actually farmed for food. So this gentleman just thought, wow, I just have a bunch of protein here. He’s on Key Biscayne. He’s sort of picking up all these iguanas that appear to be dead on the road that had fallen out of trees. They turned gray and were not moving at all and very cold to the touch.
And he put them into his vehicle. He’s loading them up like he was stocking up for a big barbecue. When they went back into the vehicle, the vehicle warmed up, and those iguanas started coming back to life. And all of a sudden, they started getting up and running around in the car, and it caused an accident.
DON’T PUT FROZEN IGUANAS IN YOUR CAR AND GO DRIVING. THEY COME BACK TO LIFE.
THAT’S ALL.
