Brown Anole Goes for a Bike Ride

I stumbled across this little guy a few weeks ago outside of Friday Hall. After some observation and research I believe that it is a Brown Anole. Brown Anole are native to The Bahamas and Cuba, however they have been introduced to parts of the US through the pet trade. They are highly incase species, it is able to reproduce and expand its range very quickly. They also outcompete other lizard species for resources and have been known to even consume other lizards. The Brown Anole is carnivorous. Its diet partly consists of small arthropods, cockroaches, spiders, mealworms and other lizards. As a defense mechanism, the anole may detach its own tail when captured in order to escape fatal predators. The tail will partially regrow.
