Carolina Green Anole Lizard

Description:

May be either green or brown depending on environmental conditions. When brown, may have faint markings on the back. Males have a pinkish throat fan that is displayed in territorial rivalries or when approaching a potential mate. The green anole is most easily distinguished form the similar brown anole (Anolis sagrei) by green or lightly patterned brown coloration, pinkish throat fan, and by range.

Habitat:

I see these anoles in trees and bushes up off the ground or perched higher atop something more so than I see the brown ones, which often scurry across the ground.

Notes:

They are really pretty and seem a little curious!
