Brown Anole(Male & Female)

Anolis Sagrei

Description:

Sexual dimorphism is pronounced with males reaching a larger terminal size and weight. The dewlap of males is also usually larger than that of the females. Female brown anoles often exhibit a dorsal line that can appear as a light-colored wave, zig-zag or diamond pattern that males typically lack. Mature males also exhibit a pronounced crest-like ridge running down the back.

Notes:

A prominent identifying feature of this species is the extensible dewlap or throat fan which can be yellow to red-orange in color and is used in territorial and mating displays.
