More on Anole
Chameleon - small- to medium-sized lizard of the family Chamaeleonidae. About eighty species are found in sub-Saharan Africa, with a few in S Asia.
When he comes courting, a male anole expands his throat fan, raises his crest, and bobs his head to ward off other males. If the female is ready to mate, she stays still and arches her neck. If not, she runs away.
