Brown Anole

Description:

They are brown to grayish in color, generally with whitish or yellowish patterning on the back. Males generally have an orange or red throat fan with a white edge.

Habitat:

Anoles are active by day in warm weather and often bask in vegetation, occasionally charging away from a basking spot to grab and inset or chase off a rival anole. During cool weather anoles are often found hiding under tree bark, shingles, or in rotten logs. This one was found in a County park scurrying across a sidewalk to avoid people' but stopped long enough to look around to see what was going on; and get its photo taken.
