Island Of The Frozen Iguanas

A surreal sight can be seen in this video as several iguanas seem to be frozen in place after a nationwide winter storm brought temperatures in Florida down to the low 40s. Iguanas are cold-blooded and once the temps get too cold, they go into a hibernation-like state and revive once it warms up. If you watch the video below in full screen you can see a close-up of one of the iguanas eyes at : 27 and you’ll see its pupil dilating and contracting.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.

As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.

Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
