In a peculiar turn of events amid a cold snap in the United States, iguanas are reportedly falling from trees, a phenomenon driven by the reptiles' reaction to reduced temperatures. When exposed to cold, iguanas slow their metabolic functions and can appear lifeless, falling from their tree-top homes as a result. The event has sparked widespread discussion about climate change and its impacts on local wildlife.

In Japan, people have shown great interest in these types of unusual, natural phenomena due to their environmental implications. There is considerable concern for climate change and its effects on wildlife, with many Japanese citizens participating in local conservation and protection efforts. Moreover, the unique propensity of Japan for blending humor and seriousness could make such an odd event a trending topic and a rallying point for environmental activities.

Similar incidents of wildlife being affected by weather extremes have occurred in the US and EU, although reactions vary. In America, responses may range from amusement to concern, while in Europe, such incidents are typically taken with a serious tone and used to further discussion about climate change and wildlife conservation.
