Description
Florida is home to many species of lizards. This little guy is a Brown Anole. Brown Anole males reach 8 in long, females are smaller. Males have yellowish spots on the back, a ridge down the center of its back, and an orange to pale-yellow, white-edged dewlap or throat flap. They were introduced to Florida from Cuba and the Bahamas and are now found throughout the state. They thrive in disturbed habitats, among ornamental plants and are common around buildings. Where brown anoles coexist with the native green anoles, you will usually see the brown anoles on the ground and the green anoles on the upper trunk and in the canopy of trees.
Walk down any residential sidewalk on a warm Florida day, and you'll see these many of these little lizards dash across the sidewalk almost right under your feet. In the springtime, the babies make the same dash, but are in greater danger of being squished, because they're so tiny, often less than an inch from head to tail. They are quite harmless and fun to watch.
