In a given habitat, female brown anoles reproduce in the warmer parts of the year. [22] The brood size of a single female brown anole is one egg, which it lays in damp environments. [22] The female lays its eggs roughly 2 weeks apart from each other, [22] resulting in a total of 15 to 18 eggs in a single breeding season. [12]
For example, the Carolina (or green) anole can change its color from a bright, leafy green to a dull brown color, while the brown anole can only change its shade, ranging from pale gray-brown to very dark brown. [1] Even the distinct green-to-brown change in the Carolina anole can happen in only a few minutes. [81]
Other names include the Carolina anole, Carolina green anole, American anole, American green anole, North American green anole and red-throated anole. It is commonly called chameleon in the southeastern United States and sometimes referred to as the American chameleon (typically in the pet trade) due to its color-changing ability; however, it ...
Anolis is a genus of anoles (US: / ə ˈ n oʊ. l i z / ⓘ), iguanian lizards in the family Dactyloidae, native to the Americas.With more than 425 species, [1] it represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus, although many of these have been proposed to be moved to other genera, in which case only about 45 Anolis species remain.

The most notable morphological difference between the anoles of the Carolinensis clade and the rest of the genus Anolis is that Carolinensis group anoles typically have large, conspicuously elongated heads and extreme levels of sexual dimorphism. Photo of mating green anoles (Anolis carolinensis) male is on top and female is on bottom. Note ...
Compared to many other anoles, it is a stocky, muscular and aggressive, [13] although it is a small (compared to Central American anoles) [14] to moderately-sized species (compared to insular Caribbean anoles). Measurements in 2015 found the animals to have a snout-vent length (SVL) which can reach to 75 mm (3.0 in) in males, and up to 73 mm (2 ...
Trunk-ground anoles are stocky and usually have relatively large heads and long legs to facilitate jumping. Anoles of this ecomorph are predominantly brown in color but can change to lighter or darker shades of brown based on their mood or body temperature.
