Kamikaze iguanas fall from Florida's frozen trees
The lizards go into a type of hibernation when the temperature drops below around 9 degrees C, all body functions but the heart switching off and blood flow cut to a minimum.
It means they lose their grip on branches and the creatures, which are common in the "sunshine state", plunge out of the trees.
The lizards, which can grow up to five feet long, then lie grey and appear dead until the temperature rises again, at which time they usually revive.
