Apparently the iguanas were merely stunned by this cold snap, not killed.
A guy in Florida loaded his car up with frozen iguanas and then they came back to life while he was driving. https://t.co/FBFtpR5SyI pic.twitter.com/wxQobX33Un

More here, including an interview from a guy at the Miami Zoo who sounds like he’s debating whether or not to grab the mike and start screaming “KILL THEM, YOU FOOLS! SMASH THEM WITH HAMMERS WHILE THEY’RE STUNNED! DESTROY THEM UTTERLY AND FEAST ON THEIR FLESH!” until somebody drags them off. Apparently iguanas are an invasive species in Florida… Oh, hey! I know tonight’s song!
I know this sounds trite, but iguana DOES taste like chicken.
Apropos of nothing, my copy of Declare by Tim Powers was booknapped by my Mother. I’ll have to see if I can distract her with some Talbot Mundy or Rafael Sabatini.
While it’s most likely a horrible thing to laugh at another’s misfortunes…

It also seems to be one of life’s great pleasures.
You’d think the invasive iguanas would be kept in check by the invasive Burmese pythons.
Iguanas: Sometimes, they come back!
