Anoles will eat pest insects, like this crested anole with a cockroach. Anoles are model organisms often studied in fields such as ecology, behavior, physiology and evolution. [3] [7] [17] The Carolina (or green) anole is the most-studied anole species, with the earliest dedicated studies being more than 100 years old, from the late 1800s. [97]

The present-day native terrestrial mammal fauna of Puerto Rico is composed of only 13 species, all of which are bats. 18 marine mammals, including manatees, dolphins and whales, occur in Puerto Rican waters.
