A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Anolis Sagrei
A relatively small anole with a long tail. Can have cool diamond/striped patterns on its back and can also turn moderately green. Very frequent near neighborhoods and open farms with fences. The dewlap (skin under neck) color is bright orange to light red. Few females have large dewlaps and males usually always have a large dewlap. When cornered, a male will puff his dewlap and bob his head up and down. This just means they are trying to scare you away. They are also found basking out on foam panels because they insulate heat well ( they are cold blooded animals). Thanks and I hope you found my description helpful.
Open fields with fences (they will be basking on the fences). Bushy and wet areas, many times after rain. In neighborhoods and housed areas. In the woods or forests.

Thank you.
Hello Prineet the frog and Welcome to the Project Noah community! We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2004... to chose the best wild photo of 2016,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
