Description
Sagua de tanamo anole is characterized by its remarkable adaptability to different vegetations, as it can be found from the floor to the highest levels in both disturbed and undisturbed habitats. Intriguingly, this species employs an 'ambush' hunting strategy, remaining motionless until prey comes within striking range. This behavior and its habitat adaptability allow it to maintain diverse diets and achieve widespread geographical distribution.
