Meanwhile, in Florida.

Record cold temperatures in Miami the last few days (in the 30s) prompted NWS to issue a warning for falling iguanas as the poor lizards go into a state of hibernation to prevent freezing to death, and subsequently fall out of the trees they were nesting in.

Free meat.

Iguanas have the nickname "chicken of the trees." And there are reports in Miami that culinary-minded people began seizing the opportunity for to grab — and even sell — iguanas that fell from trees.

"Tacos, anyone?" author and Miami Herald columnist Carl Hiaasen tweeted Wednesday, citing a report in the Herald that said iguana meat was available on the Facebook Marketplace.

It's tasty. Not nearly as good as gator though. Actually had some gator the other day.

Eating random iguana like that is just asking for some hardcore food poisoning.

Improperly cooked, yes

not surprised iguana tastes good. chickens are just t-rex's great great great granddaughters after all.

actually i wonder if lizard eggs are tasty like chicken eggs. maybe we should start looking into replacing our feathered friends with something that doesn't cock-a-doodle-doo in the wee hours of the morning?

Two dolphins with gunshot and stab wounds washed up on two Florida beaches last week, officials said. Federal authorities are offering a $20,000 award for help figuring out what happened.

Florida is kinda nuts y'all.

Sounds like it was done on porpoise.

[Kirin]

Actually, my bad. It was a dolphin, so it couldn't have been done on porpoise.

Honestly though, and maybe its the lack of a meth-induced state with this being Florida, but what pleasure or joy do people get out of this?

Sounds to me like dolphin gang violence is getting out of control and we should build a wall on the coast.
