A heartwarming video has emerged of members of a recreational softball team rescuing a pet iguana that got stuck at the top of a tree.
The footage, shot on May 10 in Minneapolis, MN, USA, captures the moment one of the men managed to catch the reptile with a fishing net as his teammate got it to drop from the top branches.
"We’re in Minnesota so iguanas can’t really survive outdoors when evening comes this early in the year, it gets too cold for them even in May," the filmer told Newsflare.
"They can climb, but with the sun going down and so much commotion I don’t think it would have tried to climb back down, and even some exposure to lower temperatures can damage or kill a cold blooded animal like that."
The iguana was taken to its owner's home after the rescue.
