Residents in Central and South Florida have recently spotted iguanas falling from trees, paralyzed by the cold temperatures in the Sunshine State

The cold blast could immobilize iguanas and cause them to fall out of trees. The lizards start getting sluggish in temperatures below 50 degrees and are known to "freeze" when temperatures dip into the 30s and 40s, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

An iguana escaped serious injury Tuesday night after it was rescued from a house fire by firefighters in Olathe.
