Spotlight Species #3: Carolina anole

Spotlight Species #3:
Carolina anole (Anolis Carolinensis)

What to Look For:
Carolina anoles can be either green or brown. They are about 5 - 8 inches long. Males have a pink throat fan.

Where to Find It:
Carolina anoles can be found all over the place! Check in bushes, on fences, or on your house for them. Anoles tend to live in wooded areas. They also enjoy basking in the sun during warm weather.

Why It Is a Spotlight Species:
We could not leave out this special little lizard. It exists throughout our entire watershed and even has our state name in its common name.
Though referred to as a green anole, the lizard can be brown or green. Due to its color-changing ability, it is sometimes also referred to as the American chameleon. But, of course, it is not a tru chameleon.
