There,Their... They're not the same! Please edit for proper usage!

Great angle on this photograph! While it is a nice shot, the silhouette effect makes it difficult to see what KIND of palm that is, eh?

So, if I ran a pet modelling agency, I would definitely hire this handsome fellow! It appears that he is totally posing for you to take photos of him! NICE JOB!

Nice work, Wyatt! Please edit the text of your spotting for correct spelling, punctuation, etc.

Around SOFL they are known as Florida rats. They are EVERYWHERE! However they do not tend to "infest" homes or businesses as rats are prone to do, they like the great outdoors.

I was curious about the Wikipedia article's statement that little is known about them, so I looked for another website and found this:

"Popular in the pet trade, the curly tail lizard is native to the Bahamas, and was introduced to Florida in the 1940’s to combat sugar cane pests. Curly tails are sturdy, robust-looking lizards that sometimes grow to a length of 28 cms (11 inches). Their curled tail which is held up in the air easily identifies them.

Curlytails are now common in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties in Florida. They are seen in parking lots, along walls and around old buildings, especially where there are cracks and pieces of rubble. These lizards usually move on the ground but can also climb well."

So, I would agree this is, in fact a hedge. HOWEVER... "hedge" is not a plant species as far as I know. Remember the research page item "How is the species used by humans?" Well this plant is being USED as a HEDGE. But what is the plant? Leaves look sort of like a ficus?

These are everywhere in SOFL! They seem almost invincible. We have them under a tree that was infested by spiraling white flies and the schefflera survived!
