Woman discovers that home window has become a night shelter for seven lizards and a frog – Hour 7
-
A woman discovered that she did not live alone in the house she owns in Florida. On a quiet night, she noticed that the windows of the house were sheltering a frog and lizards, probably protecting themselves from the cold.
In total, American Jessica Schreck counted seven lizards resting on the glass, and a frog there too — in another window, she found another six lizards!

As we are in the age of social media, the discovery became a cute video, published on TikTok.
“My first reaction was, ‘Oh, they’re cute, they’re cuddling up to my window to keep warm,'” Jessica said in an interview with WFLA.
Since publishing the video, on the 7th, she noticed that the animals return to the improvised shelter every night, probably to escape the extreme winter nights, after getting some sun during the day.

There’s a strange trend in the air: frogs seem to be the trendy animals and perhaps threaten the long reign of feline dynasties on the World Wide Web
