Head of a Carolina Anole

The Carolina anole is an arboreal lizard found primarily in the southeastern parts of the United States and some Caribbean islands. This lizard can reach a total length of about 22 cm. Females are slightly smaller, around 16 cm. The male has a pink or red dewlap that can be extended from the chin as a courtship or territorial display. This dewlap display is often accompanied by head bobbing and "pushups."
