Field Notes

Description:

It has theability to change color from several brown hues to bright green. While many kinds of lizards are capable of changing color, anoles are closely related to iguanas.

Habitat:

The Carolinas ceded their ground-level territories and were relegated to a very different ecosystem high in the treetops. On occasion a more aggressive Carolina may be seen closer to the ground and in competition with the browns. The specimen was observed traveling on a boardwalk in a County nature Preserve.
