100s of Manatees putting on a show this morning!! The air was 20°, but the water was still a spring-like 72° (as it always is) in Three Sisters Springs in Crystal River. #manatees#florida
🚨 FLORIDA JUST TRIGGERED AN IGUANA MASSACRE - FROZEN REPTILES EVERYWHERE AFTER OFFICIALS PUT A BOUNTY ON THEIR HEADS
South Florida is freezing… and the iguanas are locking up.
They started dropping out of trees.
Frozen solid.
Barely moving.
This guy scoops them up by the armful - 68 IGUANAS IN ONE DAY - bagged, counted, and stacked in the truck like a full blown cleanup operation.
And here’s the part everyone forgot:
Four years ago, officials in Miami Beach were so fed up with the invasion they openly talked about PUTTING A CASH BOUNTY ON THEIR HEADS.
The city already burned $50,000 in 2021 on iguana removal - then planned to crank it up to $200,000.
There is no active bounty right now as officials only floated the idea years ago.
No task force this time.
No permits.
No press conference.
Just a cold snap doing what government couldn’t.
Many of the iguanas are cold-stunned - frozen in place but still alive.
Should Florida bring back cash bounties… or let winter keep handling it?
