Species of the day – March 5, 2013 – Green Tree Anole (Norops biporcatus)

When we returned from the field today this green anole lizard was on a palm near where we park our truck.

This lizard has the ability to change color! At the beginning he was a bright green, but after we caught him to get a better look he started changing color to brown and green stripes. I have also seen them turn almost completely brown!
