Field Notes

Description:

Sometimes referred to as the American chameleon due to its ability 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 and are not true chameleons. This anole is a small lizard; male adults are usually 15 cm long, about half of which is its tail, and it can weigh from 3–7 g.

Habitat:

Near Queen's Bath.

Notes:

Thanks Scott Frazier for the ID!
