Anole on a Branch

Wikipedia Tells me:  

"The Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) is an arboreal lizard found primarily in the southeastern United States and some Caribbean islands. Other common names include the green anole, American anole and red-throated anole. It is also sometimes referred to as the American chameleon due to its ability to change color from several brown hues to bright green and its somewhat similar appearance (though it is not a true chameleon)."

Green Anole

The kindest way of helping yourself 
is to find a friend.

 My little green friend (Green Anole) from a vacation in North Carolina a few years ago.

My Little Green Friend

During one of our North Carolina vacations, I made the acquaintance of this little guy. He is known as a Carolina Anole or a Green Anole. At first I thought maybe he was scared and that is why he has the enlarged red throat. During my research I found that the enlarged red dewlap is also a courting gesture. 
 Maybe he was flirting with me :) 
 It was a real treat to see this little guy!!
