One of the most common floridian animals, the Green Anole Lizard is often seen in gardens and houses in search of insects and small vertabrates. Famed for their ability to change color, they are often misidentified as chamelions. In fact, they are more closely related to Central and South America's iguanas. Males are often territorial, mantaining a space of anything from 6 to 10 square feet. During courtship displays and small battles over territory, males display a rather large red dewflap in order to appear larger.
These little wonders are extremely good at coexisting with people, and their only threat is the invasive Cuban Brown Anole, which is unable to turn green but can become different patterns and shades of brown and black.
