Male Green Anole

Here is a Male Green Anole from our South Carolina family visit last month.

 

Green Anoles, especially males, have a distinctive throat fan called a dewlap. This flap of skin extends from the underside of the neck and is used for communication, particularly in courtship and territorial displays. Males extend their dewlap to attract mates, assert dominance, or ward off rivals.

 

They are so much fun to "try" to photograph.
