An iguana was seen falling from a tree in a Miami backyard as temperatures dropped in the area on Wednesday, January 22.Security camera footage taken by resident Avrohom Eliezer Friedman shows the iguana falling from a tree in North Miami Beach on Wednesday, accompanied by a loud “thud” as it hits the concrete. A cat can be seen sniffing and biting the iguana’s tail, prompting the lizard to slowly walk across the yard.According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, near- or below-freezing temperatures can send green iguanas into a state of torpor, causing them to lose all muscle control and occasionally fall out of trees or other vegetation.Friedman’s friend, who uploaded the footage to X, said that the iguana was okay and “crawled away in the morning when the sun came up.” Credit: Avrohom Eliezer Friedman via Storyful
