What lizard is that anyway?

Apr 08, 2008

Okay, according to a fan the lizard that I thought was a Florida Scrub, may be a gray anole. I’m pretty sure the second picture is, because I now remember seeing it do it’s mating display. It flashed out it’s throat patch with that brilliant orange/red color. That’s a very anole thing to do. But I’m still not sure that the first lizard is an anole. But then, lizards aren’t my thing. Of reptiles, I’m much better with snakes. But, in truth, I’m much better with birds, then butterflies, then other insects, in the order of what I’m looking at, and knowing what I’m looking at.
Well, okay, mammals, I’m really good at that, but we didn’t see any of those while we were in Florida. Well, no wild ones. Dogs, cats, people; but no key deer, maybe next time, and if there was a Florida panther with in sight of it, it kept hidden. Big predators are amazingly good at hiding.
We’ll be putting up more pictures from the vacation, but I think the next one up is going to be about completely different: cars.
