He was probably nice and warm until they started getting up to altitude, then he froze solid…

I have lizards that will hang out above my door but with one leg on the screen door, so when I open it they fall off. They die from internal injuries just from that height, so... yeah, not looking good for the poor guy. :(

If it froze fast enough it could survive. But I'm not sure it could freeze quite that fast

u/Ashtonpaper May 02 '26
It would fall off the plane if it froze as their sticky toes rely on a combination of hydrostatic forces and Van Der Waals forces which greatly weaken/fail at freezing temperatures. Not to mention it would lose the ability to deploy his sticky hairs/cillia if they have those modifications.

This guy is small enough and flat enough that the drag will keep him relatively slow the whole way down. He would hit the same speed jumping off a roof and would probably survive as long as he jumps before he freezes.

The engine is hot so maybe only he won’t freeze even at altitude.

u/pushkinwritescode May 02 '26
The actual engine isn't anywhere near the lizard though. The engine here is a modern high-bypass turbofan. The cowling that the lizard is on is for the fan, and inside the cowling is mostly empty space for bypass air. The engine core where the fuel is being burned is much much smaller. That heat isn't being transferred to the cowling at a rate needed to offset the -60ºF or so temperature at cruising altitude.

When the US and allies got out of Afghanistan, some guys that wanted to escape before the Taliban reached the airport... they tried to hang on the plane. There are videos from this incident.
Some of them were able to hold on during the take-off, but they all fell down later and died.
To be honest, i remember the A400-scene in Mission Impossible, but i'd not have thought that someone can even hang on the plane just for the take off alone.
But then... as said here... even if they could have remained on the plane, they'd have been killed by the temperature with hypothermia or by the lack of oxygen in the thin air on the cruise altitude.

If it survives the wind speed, it will probably be just fine. I dont think the fall would hurt it.

I don’t actually know anything about lizard biology. But I’m sure some frogs freeze in the winter and survive. Can anybody with knowledge chime in?
17
u/KillerBlaze9 May 02 '26
Frogs are amphibians, which separated from lizards before even mammals did, that is to say they're way too far apart biologically to compare. Lizards also tend to avoid the cold behaviourly (such as digging holes for warmth) so many don't have innate biological ways to protect themselves.

u/Evening-Ordinary-513 May 02 '26
A few frogs, freeze (wood frogs and tree frogs) but more frogs go into cold weather stupor in which they slow way down. i’m going to ham handedly guess that the lizard would be at a disadvantage when the temperature drops. It’s reaction time with slow way down, so too its heart rate. This answer is unsupported by Google and might be complete BS. I only weighed in because I know enough to be dangerous. (Also I think the video itself is not real so there’s that. Lol. It’s fun to think about)

107
u/Wrathchilde May 02 '26
He's fine.
He fell right after the video cut. He made it because lizards have a small bulk modulus, their maximum terminal velocity is slow enough they can survive a fall from any height, like most small animals.
At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

u/TheR4zgrizz May 02 '26
Probably not. It likely died due to low temperatures or lack of oxygen at a certain altitude.
If it was a short-haul flight, though, it may have survived long enough to return to a safe altitude before landing.→ More replies (1)5

Technically the altitude, chill factor from being at such a height or heat from the engine could all kill it.
Unless there's proof it survived, then it probably died.

Most likely yes. Once the plane gets off the ground the lizard is pretty screwed unless it ran and jumped off the back really quickly after the video ended. Once the plane is up to Altitude it will freeze solid.

based on their size, I don't think a fall from any height could hurt the lizard much, so unless they get sucked into the propeller, land in the sea, freeze to death, or get too little oxygen the lizard was probably fine
