They allow themselves to be frozen in the water with their nostrils sticking out of the ice.

......they had this story on my local news.......they 'hibernate' but stick nostrils out so they can breathe [ it is called brumation ]......in case they are frozen.......

A lot of lizards have fallen out of trees and bushes in Florida due to being cold/frozen. They can generally survive as long as they can still breathe and aren't seriously injured. I guess it's a benefit of being cold blooded.

I think they will die if it gets too cold but I don't know what that temperature is right off.

Convergent evolution?

[www.npr.org]

"in Central America, iguana is a delicacy. It's something - they're actually farmed for food. So this gentleman just thought, wow, I just have a bunch of protein here. He's on Key Biscayne. He's sort of picking up all these iguanas that appear to be dead on the road that had fallen out of trees. They turned gray and were not moving at all and very cold to the touch.
And he put them into his vehicle. He's loading them up like he was stocking up for a big barbecue. When they went back into the vehicle, the vehicle warmed up, and those iguanas started coming back to life. And all of a sudden, they started getting up and running around in the car, and it caused an accident."

....they may need help......gator....aid.......

In Puerto Rico Iguanas are an invasive species and they're completely out of control. There are now outfits leading Iguana hunts using air rifles. If you're into hunting and environmentalism this is a win/win. There are similar hunts being organized in Florida as well.

Sounds more like a necessary genetic survival technique rather than an "allowance".

I IMMEDIATELY knew what that was. Man, I'm getting old. So old, I knew Ann Wilson from Heart when she was young and skinny!
