Brown Cuban Anole - Anolis sagrei
Seen on a walk near our hotel in Guardalavaca, this Brown Cuban Anole – Anolis sagrei – was spotted sitting on a metal pipe (presumably still holding the warmth of the day). It was not bothered by our presence and it even started flashing its dewlap at us, as seen in the picture. Native to Cuba, this Anole has been introduced (originally as pets) to other Caribbean islands and the US where it has become very invasive and predatory, consuming many species of native lizards.
