According to NOAA, cold-stunning is a condition where sea turtles become very weak or inactive after being exposed to cold temperatures. A similar phenomenon is seen in iguanas. These terrestrial reptiles can fall from trees after being cold-stunned during cold snaps.

A pair of wildlife officers in Florida rescued 30 cold-stunned sea turtles amid unusually low temperatures in the region.

Handlogten decided earlier this week to forgo a redshirt and return to the court beginning Saturday against rival Georgia. But the 7-foot-1 junior changed his mind late Friday and watched in street clothes as the fifth-ranked Gators dominated the Bulldogs 89-59.

Florida's Micah Handlogten has been cleared to return and will have final say in whether he plays this season or waits for the next one, coach Todd Golden said.
