ORLANDO, Fla. — Floridians may want to keep their eyes on the sky this weekend: Forecasters are calling for a chance of falling iguanas in parts of the state.
According to WFTV in Orlando, the ubiquitous reptiles could plummet from trees as some regions experience a cold snap this weekend – particularly on Saturday night.
The cold-blooded critters “slow down or become immobile when temps drop into the 40s,” the agency wrote at the time. “They may fall from trees, but they are not dead.”
This isn’t the first time meteorologists have sounded the alarm about the phenomenon. Back in 2020, the National Weather Service’s Miami office shared a similar alert in a tweet that went viral.
