Description
The brown anole (Anolis sagrei), also known as the Bahaman anole or De la Sagra's Anole, is a lizard native to Cuba and the Bahamas. It has been widely introduced elsewhere, by being sold as a pet lizard, and is now found in Florida and as far north in the United States as southern Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Hawaii, and Southern California. It has also been introduced to other Caribbean islands and Taiwan in Asia.

Diet
Brown anole primarily sustains on a diet rich in insects, especially ants and beetles. However, it also opportunistically feeds on other arthropods and tender plant materials when required, displaying pronounced foraging behavior.
Appearance
Brown anole is a small, slender lizard featuring rough, scaled skin. Its body color varies from brown to gray with darker splotches along its back, tail, and limbs. Notably, it exhibits a dewlap, or throat fan, that can be red-orange or yellow and is larger in males. Other distinguishing characteristics include its elongated body, slim tail, and long, slender toes that are particularly well-adapted for tree-climbing. No significant features change with age, sex, or subspecies.
Behavior
Brown anole displays a diurnal active lifestyle primarily spending time in vegetation. Characterized by male territoriality, these animals often perform elaborate displays of push-ups and head-bobs. Notably, they are known for their survival adaptation pushing the caps off long, thin-toed feet for adhesion to surfaces, a remarkable advantage in their arboreal habitats.
