Iguanas in Distress: Heroic Rescue Mission during Storm Elliott's Chill!

  • last year
An animal-lover filmed himself collecting iguanas which froze and fell out of palm trees due to Storm Elliott blasting Florida.

The reptiles have been left unable to move and falling out of palm trees during the killer cold snap which has claimed nearly 60 lives across eight U.S states.

Snakes have also been impacted by the unusually cold weather.

Brendan Denuyl, 29, filmed himself collecting an array of iguanas in his arms in Pembroke Pines, South Florida, as they suffer from the cold.

Iguanas are naturally cold-blooded and rely on heat from the sun and their surroundings, and when temperatures drop below 50 degrees fahrenheit, they seize up and become immobile.
