Carolina Anole
This is a picture of a carolina anole I found while out in ecology lab earlier this week. Another common name for this species is the red-throated anole. This species of lizard is found mostly in the southeastern united states or other tropical/ Caribbean areas. I was able to observe the lizard climb up and down the tree and extend its dewlap. Due to the size of its dewlap, which is a flap of skin that hangs below the throat of some vertebrates, I believe that this anole was a male. Another reason I believed this anole to be a male was due to its particularly territorial behavioral, which is a common trait among males. Green anole lizards feed on small insects such as flies or small spiders.
