Quiet cold causes iguanas to hibernate in the US
Florida allowed hunting without a license to save animals
According to reports from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, more than 1,000 iguanas entered a state of anabiosis due to abnormal cold weather. To rescue animals paralyzed by the cold, Florida authorities issued a temporary order on Monday allowing citizens to capture iguanas without a special license. Experts note that such measures are necessary for rapid re-aerodynamicization of the animal and preventing its death. Similar situations involving cold fronts previously occurred in South America, causing similar problems, but such events are rare under modern climate conditions.
