A competition for shelter and food is raging across Florida, and two related lizard species have been adapting to the presence of each other for decades.
Florida's native green anoles (pronounced "uh-noles"), Anolis carolinensis, found themselves in competition with the Cuban brown anoles (Anolis sagrei) over a century ago. Native to Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands, Cuban brown anoles are now the most common lizard in many urbanized parts of Florida.
The decline in green anoles may not be wholly caused by competition, but it is due in large part to the presence of the introduced Cuban brown anoles. However the green anoles have been able to adapt—at least for the time being. When brown anoles are present, native green anoles move vertically up in the habitat. This allows the lizards to partition the area and decrease competition. However, if there is nowhere in the habitat for the green anoles to move, they ultimately disappear from the area. And while brown anoles are known to prey on young green anoles, their more rapid reproduction may be giving the Cuban cousins another competitive advantage.
I found this Green Anole at Joe Overstreet Landing in Osceola County, Florida.

Here are a few more pic of yesterday's jump. It was fabulous and I will describe it more once I have got over the post jump Party :-) Thank you for all your donations. I'm keeping the site open for another few months in case anyone else would like to donate.
I was running backwards down a brick sidewalk, at night, 100% humidity fogging up my lens, birdseed flying everywhere...
...and I got this one.

Une chenille à la drôle d'allure !
Cette espèce a la particularité d'accumuler les capsules céphaliques de ses anciennes mues sur la tête, ce qui est assez unique !
A rechercher sur les chênes.
Congrats Novak ! You're in final !
I wanted to MOC brickbuild characters for quite a long time... It's now all done !
I had a lot of fun building this creation. Nole is one of my favourite tennis player ! The head was really difficult to build, and I'm not totally happy with the result...
At the beginnig, I wanted to create both Djokovic and Federer, but finally I'd not enough bricks.
Hope you'll enjoy !
Many Thanks to the +14,540,000 visitors of my photographic stream
