The anole

It was first described by Thomas Barbour ug Charles T.

Anoles are small New World lizards. Most species hold a coloured throat fan, and they split the forest into perches: trunk, twig, grass, or crown.

Anoles (Dactyloidae) are diurnal lizards of the Americas and the Caribbean. Many are arboreal; a dewlap is the usual field mark of a displaying male.

Range and habitat

The species is found in Cuba.

GBIF currently lists 84 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Habits

Anoles hunt insects by sight. Males display the dewlap; many species are tightly tied to a perch type in a single range of hills or an island.
