Iguana Attacks Man Trying to Remove Him From Roof
An Iguana attacked a man in Florida who was trying to remove it from a roof.
The iguana, which was about five feet long, sunk its teeth into the man's arm and hand. The man required surgery and 20 stitches.
Iguanas are not native to Florida, but they have been multiplying in the state due to the warm climate.
Woman Hospitalized After Her Iguana Bites Her
When most people think of iguanas, they likely think of docile creatures that can be found in pet stores. However, these animals are not always so gentle. In fact, a 60-year-old woman in Florida was recently hospitalized after her iguana bit her.
According to reports, the woman was approached by her pet iguana from behind and bitten on the arm. The bite caused a deep laceration that resulted in the woman requiring surgery. She was also treated for infection at the hospital.
This is not the first time that an iguana has bitten someone. In fact, these animals are known for biting people, especially when they feel threatened. Iguanas can also be carriers of salmonella, so it is important to take precautions if you come into contact with them.
If you are thinking about getting an iguana as a pet, it is important to do your research and understand what you are getting yourself into. These animals can be difficult to care for and require a lot of attention. They also need access to UVB light in order to stay healthy. If you are not able to provide these things, it may be best to steer clear of iguanas altogether.
Iguana Escapes From Florida Zoo
On Thursday, November 1st, an iguana escaped from the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida. This is the second time in as many months that an iguana has made a run for it at this zoo.
The latest escapee was a three-foot-long green iguana named "Iggy." Iggy was last seen by zoo staff scampering off into some nearby bushes. It's not clear how or when Iggy escaped, but officials believe that he may have simply walked out of the zoo when it was opened to the public on Thursday morning.
This is the second time in two months that an iguana has made a break for it at the Brevard Zoo. In late September, a three-and-a-half-foot-long iguana named "Izzie" escaped from her enclosure and spent several hours running loose around the zoo before she was recaptured.
Zoo officials say that they are taking measures to prevent future iguana escapes, but they concede that there is not much they can do to stop them. Iguanas are good climbers and can squeeze through small openings; they can also swim well and may be able to cross a nearby creek if necessary.
"They're pretty mobile animals," said Jeremy Wilcox, Curator of Reptiles at Brevard Zoo. "We're doing what we can to make sure they stay put, but... as long as they're here in Florida, there's always potential for them to escape."
Green iguanas are not native to Florida, but they have become increasingly common in the state in recent years. They are typically found near water sources and often live near humans, which makes them easy targets for potential escapees.
If you see an iguana roaming around your neighborhood, please do not approach it; instead, call your local animal control agency.
Texas Family Finds 5-Foot-Long Iguana in Backyard
A Texas family found a 5-foot-long iguana in their backyard.
The iguana was discovered by the homeowner's daughter, who was playing in the yard when she saw the iguana.
The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, said that her daughter was "screaming and crying" when she saw the iguana.
"I have never seen anything like it," the homeowner said. "It was huge."
The homeowner called local animal control, but they were not able to help because iguanas are not considered a wild animal in Texas.
So, the homeowners called a local veterinarian, who sedated the iguana and took it away.
Iguanas are native to Central and South America, but they have been known to migrate northward as far as Florida.
They typically eat leaves, flowers, and fruit, but they can also be pests when they start to eat crops or invade residential areas.
