Students and staff responded quickly when a green iguana wandered onto their high-school campus in Kaohsiung. Led by the dean of student affairs, six students used plastic fruit crates to herd and corner the iguana, successfully capturing it without causing it any harm. When a video of the capture was posted online, people praised how the students handled the situation calmly and considered the iguana’s safety.

Several students hold blue fruit crates, closing in on a green iguana that wandered onto their high-school campus.

Under their teacher’s supervision, the students surround the iguana as it darts to the other side of the hallway. When they get close enough, one of them covers it with a crate.

The team cheers as they finally capture their unwanted guest. Led by the dean of student affairs, who has lots of experience with animals, these six students were able to quickly and gently capture the iguana.

The dean is involved with some animal protection groups like shelters, so he deals with these animals in a friendly way.

Approves of approach
Since animals generally won’t attack people unprovoked, I think handling it this way protects yourself and the animal.

The school said this is the first time a green iguana has come onto their campus. It might have been trying to find a place to escape the heat.

School secretary
Our crafts classroom is in the basement. Perhaps because the weather has been very hot recently, that underground area is relatively cool and shaded.

The school reported the incident to the Agriculture Bureau, which came to take the iguana away. These students showed that even unfamiliar situations can be handled with care.
