Cats, Dogs and Iguanas


 (Photo by Bjorn Christian Torrissen)
No doubt you’ve heard the expression, “It’s raining cats and dogs.”  But iguanas?  Only in South Florida!

These green lizards are not falling from Heaven, but rather from trees.  During warm weather they can hang on, but during cold snaps they tend to freeze up.  When the latter occurs, all bets are off.

So if you come across one that looks dead on the sidewalk, beware!  It may be down for the count, but will likely revive when conditions warm up.  Simply stunning!
