Kaohsiung high schoolers gently capture iguana on campus
2026-06-09
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.
Ling Tzu-yun
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.

總算順利抓到調皮的綠鬣蜥，師生們大聲歡呼！綠鬣蜥現蹤地點，在高雄市區的一所高中，具有童軍專業的學務主任，帶領6位學生，臨機應變，拿起水果籃溫柔誘捕。

“(主任)他有參加一些動保的團體，像流浪犬之家這些，所以他對這些動物的處置，都採取這友善的方式”
[[民眾]]
“因為基本上動物不會主動攻擊人，我覺得用這個方式處理的話，也是保護自己，也是保護動物”
綠鬣蜥擅闖校園，校方表示是第一次，分析原因，可能是因為天氣太炎熱，綠鬣蜥跑進校園避暑納涼。

“我們的工藝教室是在地下室，或許因為最近氣候很炎熱吧，(地下室)那個地方算起來是比較陰涼”
校方後續也通報農業局，將這隻綠鬣蜥移除。只是以往綠鬣蜥被捕捉的過程，通常是簡單粗暴，這回學生溫柔誘捕，也讓校園驚魂記，瞬間變得溫馨。
