Green anoles are native to the south eastern United States. These green lizards are also commonly known as "American chameleons" but they aren't closely related to the true chameleons. Like a chameleon, however, they can change color and move their eyes independently! Green anoles are tree dwelling animals and will aggressively defend their turf. Males will also make impressive displays with their dewlaps in order to entice females. These lizards are slowly being replaced in some of their natural habitats by the invasive brown anole.

Range: southeastern Unite States
Size: average of 6 inches (15cm) from nose to the base of the tail
Diet: many kinds of invertebrates like spiders, flies, beetles, and more!
