Anolis lizard

Anolis lizards are a diverse group of small to medium-sized reptiles found mainly in the Caribbean, Central, and South America. They are known for their slender bodies, long tails, and ability to change color slightly for camouflage. Many species have a distinctive flap of skin called a dewlap under their throats, which they use for communication and attracting mates. Anolis lizards are highly adaptable, often living in trees, shrubs, and on buildings, and they primarily feed on insects. They play an important role in their ecosystems by controlling insect populations and demonstrating impressive agility and color-changing abilities.
