Stick insect: The offending branch which was mistaken for an iguana
Cats are their stock in trade. But when firemen were summoned to rescue an iguana stuck up a tree, they responded with a due sense of gravity. After a call from the RSPCA, alerted by members of the public, fire officers dispatched an animal rescue expert and an aerial platform to the scene at Cove, near Farnborough, Hampshire. It wasn't until their expert was 25ft up that they realised they were victims of an illusion of nature. The 'iguana' was no more than a broken algae-covered branch.
