Bark Anole

Anolis distichus (species)

On the Web

On Wikipedia

Anolis distichus, the bark anole or Hispaniolan gracile anole, is a species of anole lizard (US: (listen)) native to Hispaniola and the Bahamas, and introduced to Florida, where it was first recorded in 1946. It spends most its time on tree trunks. There are several subspecies and it is highly variable in color. Its body ranges from gray-brown to green, and the dewlap is cream-white, over yellow and orange to red. In Florida, most are gray-brown with a cream-white (pale yellow) dewlap, but more greenish individuals with a yellow-edged red dewlap also occur. It is a fairly small anole, reaching up to 12.7 cm (5.0 in) in length.
