「恐龍」凍未條! 美國這州竟下起「綠鬣蜥雨」
〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕美國佛羅里達州近日天氣異常寒冷,竟出現詭異景象,下起了「綠鬣蜥雨」,綠鬣蜥一隻一隻從樹上掉下來,嚇壞路過民眾。
綜合媒體報導,本週佛羅里達州氣溫下探攝氏4度左右,當地氣象專家發出警告,提醒民眾需注意「綠鬣蜥雨」,因為綠鬣蜥屬於變溫動物,為了適應低溫會棲息在樹上,進入「休眠狀態」,這時身體會逐漸僵硬,導致綠鬣蜥無法繼續攀爬在樹上而掉落下來,造成「綠鬣蜥雨」怪象。
這些掉落至地面的綠鬣蜥雖然身體僵硬,但並沒有死亡,只要天氣回暖或是出太陽就會「復活」,當地政府也呼籲民眾多加留意從天而降的綠鬣蜥,因為綠鬣蜥體長可達1.5公尺以上、體重也可達7公斤,而且背部有鋒利的刺和尖爪,若不慎被砸到可能會受傷。
We've entered FALLING IGUANA territory as temps. are in the widespread 40's across Broward & Miami-Dade. They slow down or become immobile when temps. drop & could fall from trees, but they are not dead. Don't approach. Once the sun is out, they will move. pic.twitter.com/FXdHrFbUEy

It's been so cold in Florida, the cold blooded Iguanas have literally been falling out of the trees as their body slows down when the temps drop.....meaning they can't hold on to trees and literally...drop out! Don't worry, once it warms up they're all fine ???? https://t.co/UnohirOPju
