Apparently, this happened in January of 2023 ...
A Florida man was left bruised and bleeding after an iguana fell on his face during a Saturday yoga class in Miami.
Instructor Anamargret Sanchez, was teaching a free community class at Miami’s Legion Park, in the city’s Upper Eastside neighborhood. Sanchez also livestreams the sessions on Instagram so that people at home can still take part.
She told The Miami New Times that their class was held on a “really beautiful day.” They conducted their normal exercises for about 47 minutes. But the class was cut short when two iguanas, who onlookers say were likely having a territorial dispute in the oak trees above, started to create a ruckus. Amid their fight, one of the lizards either fell or was pushed straight onto one of the yogis below.
“Guys, I think we are going to close the class,” Sanchez was recorded saying during the livestream, according to the New Times. “I’m going to take care of someone who just got an iguana dropped on his face.” ...
Yogis in the class that witnessed the incident identified the falling object as a green iguana which likely weighed “between 20 and 30 pounds” and fell from a branch that was around 25 feet in the air. ...
The attack left Michael with a swollen eye and a bleeding nose and lip. Nearby paramedics conducted a quick check-up on Michael and offered to take him to the hospital, but he declined. Sanchez and Michael enjoyed an “anti-inflammatory tea” as they waited for Michael’s wife to pick him up. ...
“It’s kind of scary if you believe that kind of thing — out of 150 people in the class, I just want to know why me?” he told the New Times. “But I’ll put it this way: I don’t think having an iguana fall on your face is good luck.” He added repeatedly that, while he doesn’t “believe in guns,” he now thinks Iguanas “should be shot on sight” and “mounted.”
ribit, the Potentate of Toad Suck, GA, was asked to comment about this unusual turn of events, and he responded with ...
"This Michael guy needs to man up. I mean ... my concubine Stacey is 15 times the weight of one of these iguanas and she dead-drops onto my face all the time ... you don't hear me whining about it. I'll let Michael take a crack at Stacey with a gun and we'll see who gets "mounted"!
