Brown
anole (Anolis sagrei)
One
of the commonest lizards in Florida but actually an introduced
species. It is native to Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas.
Often seen on trees, fences, walls and rocks where it stays
close to the ground - usually head facing down ready to
dash for cover. It has an extensible red-orange throat fan
which is used to signal to other Anoles that the territory
is taken.
