The sheltering of iguanas in La Laguna del Carpintero due to the cold begins in Tampico

To prevent the iguanas located in the Laguna del Carpintero from dying of cold, the Tampico Animal Protection and Ecology Directorate, in coordination with PROFEPA, will begin work to protect these animals from the presence of low temperatures.

These actions seek to give them a warm and adequate place so they can survive during the cold weather in the area, thus avoiding being easy prey for their predators.

Iguanas are protected from cold in Tampico

However, once the temperatures return to normal, these animals will return to their natural area. In addition, the general population was urged to report an immobile iguana that is a victim of low temperatures.

They can notify the Tampico animal protection department or, failing that, PROFEPA, personnel who are assigned at this time to provide support and protection to these animals that are in this natural tourist area.
