Recently, I saw a lot of brown anole lizards. Now … “brown”
is basically a misnomer, because they usually come in a variety of colors other
than brown, and often with some distinctive markings. But I supposed they’re
called that to distinguish them from the green anoles.
I found four different ones the other day:
These creatures are pretty amazing. They’re often called the
“American chameleon” for good reason, they can change their color and skin
pattern to facilitate hiding in plain sight.
Neat, huh?
