Weather affects every living being on earth, be it human or animal. Humans have learned the skill of coping with climate change on the basis of their evolution, but animals have to fight with it. Due to the effect of this weather, lizards are in trouble in America these days. They are falling from the tree like dry leaves. People are picking them up from the ground and taking them to safe places. But what is the reason for this and what is this whole matter? Let us tell you.
iguanas falling from trees
According to reports, about 1 million iguanas live in trees in Florida. Now that these iguanas have started freezing from the cold, they are falling down from the trees like leaves. They are falling down frozen just like ice. Although it is prohibited for common citizens to touch or pick up iguanas in Florida, but considering the current situation, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has decided that they will set up a temporary collection center in the city, where citizens can collect these lizards.
The administration appealed for help
The administration said that in view of this weather, it is not necessary that people pick up the iguanas and bring them to the collection centre. If they want, then keep them in the sun yourself, so that they can become active again and go to the tree. But if people want to help in environmental protection, they can call the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they will come and collect them.
