Green anole
Anolis carolinensis
35.9132, -79.0558
Field Notes
Description:
Also known as the Carolina anole and American chameleon. Green anoles can turn brown, an ability that earned them the confusing misnomer "American chameleon" (they aren't chameleons). Brown anoles cannot, however, turn green.
Habitat:
My house
Notes:
Found in my kitchen as one of my cats was pursuing it; it must have come in through the back porch. It was small and molting; the kink in the tail may have resulted from my cat pinning it down. It fell off when it was released into the yard
