The brown anole belongs to the family and genus, Datyloidae and Anolis, respectively. [26] The most closely related species to Anolis sagrei is Anolis nelsoni, also called Nelson's anole. [26] [27] The brown anole has a shorter snout length than the green anole. [16] The green anole, or Anolis carolinensis, is green or light brown patterned. [16]
In a very small species like the Bahoruco long-snouted anole the home range can be as little is about 1.5 m 2 (16 sq ft) and 2.3 m 2 (25 sq ft) in a female and male, [99] compared to a large species like the knight anole where they average about 630 m 2 (6,800 sq ft) and 650 m 2 (7,000 sq ft). [49]
This species of anole is a small lizard (or moderately-sized for an anole), adults measuring 40 to 44 mm (1.6 to 1.7 in) from snout to vent in males, [6] [19] in females to 46 mm (1.8 in). [19] The male does not have a dorsal crest or tail fin which is common in many of the anole lizards of Puerto Rico.
The anole family has been found to have enhanced vision for color and depth perception. [7] This family is able to see dewlap coloration from a distance, giving the dewlap use and importance. These dewlaps are usually of a different color from the rest of their body and, when enlarged, make the lizard seem much bigger than it really is.
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 ...
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.

A medium-sized anole, adult males of A. bartschi have a typical snout-to-vent length of 7.5 cm (3.0 in) and females 6.4 cm (2.5 in). [3] It is one of only two anoles that completely lack a dewlap (both sexes), the other being the Cuban stream anole ( A. vermiculatus ).
