From my Daily Curio e-mail;

Winter is only 115 days away. And if you live in Florida, this year it might be snowing iguanas. Welcome to today's Iguana Themed Thursday! In recent winters, natives of the Orange State have reported a frightful scene: "kamikaze" iguanas plunging to their deaths from the treetops, into swimming pools and trampolines. But that's not all. One resident reported that when he collected the suicidal lizards off the streets, they came alive inside his station wagon. The undead iguanas crawled up his back and nearly caused a car crash. So what's going on here? The answer is simpler than it appears; iguanas hibernate at temperatures below 40° Fahrenheit. Normally, this dormancy isn't so dramatic. But since the green iguana is an invasive species from Central America—introduced to the ecosystem by irresponsible pet owners—it isn't equipped to deal with Florida's comparatively cold winters. So when the temperatures drop rapidly so do the iguanas. And they aren't the only intruder facing harsh realities. The invasive Burmese python has also taken a hit—which, depending on who you're talking to, is a good thing. Since Pythons and iguanas plunder the native plants and wildlife, maybe this is Mother Nature's way of exacting her revenge?
