An iguana lies draped on a tree limb as it waits for the sunrise, Jan. 22, 2020, in Surfside, Fla. The National Weather Service said Sunday, Jan. 30, 2022 it's going to warm up nicely after the weekend. The low temperatures near freezing are quite rare in Florida, but at first glance the citrus, strawberry and tomato winter crops suffered no major damage. Farmers spray water onto the crops to help protect them from the cold. Iguanas, an invasive species, are well accustomed to the trees of South Florida. When it gets cold, like below 40 degrees, they go into a sort of suspended animation mode. And they fall to the ground. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)
