Thousands of iguanas scattered across the streets of Florida (3 photos)
Numerous iguanas in Florida have entered a state of frozen state due to unusually low temperatures. Consequently, authorities have allowed citizens to collect fossilized reptiles without a license. Every day, Natural Resources Conservation Commission employees find and collect over a thousand motionless iguanas.
When temperatures drop to freezing, the reptiles lose muscle control and, in a state of torpor, often fall from trees to the ground, creating a spectacular, albeit unusual, natural phenomenon.
