This Florida man is giving social media something to taco ’bout. TikTok creator Gray Davis has gone viral with a series of videos documenting the “raining iguanas” phenomenon in Florida — and then eating them.

When the Sunshine State experiences unusually cold weather, the cold-blooded reptiles can wind down their systems to conserve energy, and almost literally freeze up in the process. As they stiffen, the iguana popsciles will topple from their perch onto the ground.

While they may look dead, the iguanas are technically alive and will literally thaw back to normal once the weather warms.

They’re still alive when they fall - a little heat and they wake up and scurry away,,,,

Raccoons will eat iguanas. I watched a youtube video of a raccoon fishing an iguana out of a pool and run off with it.
