American citizens are selling frozen wild meat cheaply online, experts surprisingly claim: Cooked, they are very delicious
Over the recent period, the temperature in Florida, southern United States, has plummeted, which has led to many wild iguanas living in trees freezing to death and falling down. Locals in Florida actually sold these so-called 'meat' on social media. Furthermore, local experts also suggested that they should cook them before eating.
According to the British 'Daily Mail' report on January 22, the American iguana, commonly known as the 'American iguana', is a cold-blooded animal. Therefore, the recent temperature drop in Florida has caused many iguanas to freeze to death and fall from the trees. In Miami and Doral, Florida, many people who found dead frozen iguanas actually sold them on social media.
From the media exposure, it can be seen that some frozen iguanas have been peeled by sellers, and one sale price is only one dollar. This seller claims he can provide any variety of iguanas for chefs, and he can also help with processing. However, the media also pointed out that in fact, before the temperature drop in Florida, some people had publicly sold iguanas on social media, so it is not ruled out that some iguanas were not frozen before being obtained by local people on the network.
Locally on January 21st, the Florida meteorological department issued a premonition on its official social media: 'If you find iguanas falling from trees when you go out, don't be surprised!' The meteorological department explained that iguanas are cold-blooded and move very slowly. Once the temperature drops below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (about 7 degrees Celsius), these iguanas will be unable to move.
Because frozen iguanas fall from trees and may hit people, and the largest iguana can even grow to 20 pounds, local authorities also reminded people to pay attention to safety when going out and not to be hit by iguanas.
In some people's eyes, these iguanas have become so-called 'delicious food'. What's even more baffling is that the Florida University Food and Agricultural Science College even provided several iguana menu options, one of which even suggested adding iguanas to Mexican wraps. The wild animal professor Frank Mazotti of the university even said that iguana meat is very tasty, but to prevent salmonella infection, he suggested that it must be cooked at high temperatures before eating.
