Anoles are small lizards belonging to the family Polychrotidae, commonly found in warm regions of the Americas. They are known for their vibrant colors and ability to change skin tone, which helps them blend into their surroundings. Anoles are often seen basking in the sun or climbing trees, using their long toes to grip surfaces. One of the most fascinating features of anoles is their throat flap, called a dewlap. Males use this colorful flap to attract females and establish territory. With over 400 species, anoles play an important role in their ecosystems, helping control insect populations and serving as prey for larger animals.
