Mighty (but) Small

Green Anoles are a native species of lizard found in Florida, and in other southeastern States. They are small, five to eight inches (12.5 to 20cm) long, including their tails.

 

When disturbed, they will display a colorful "dewlap" below their throats to look more threatening, or maybe more pleasing to a mate.

 

This Green Anole is displaying its bright red dewlap.
