Out cold … in Sunrise, Florida, US, conservation officials are dealing with a spate of iguanas in torpor, handed in by residents who have found the reptiles immobilised by the cold. If temperatures drop low enough, iguanas will drop out of trees and stay immobile until they manage to warm up again.
