Lizard Wrestling Moves

Video: Lizard Wrestling Moves

Slow motion clip of an Anole Lizard wrestling match. Only in slow motion can you appreciate the speed and strength of these lizards. Watch carefully and see that the lizard that is thrown is not the one that ends up pinned. The thrown lizard puts on an amazing twist move whipping its tail for leverage that results in the tables being turned! Shown at 1/8th normal speed. Actual time 16 seconds.

Brown Anole Lizard Fight

Video: Brown Anole Lizard Fight

Epic Lizard battle for control of the backyard patio! These are the bad-boy invasive Brown Anole Lizards in central Florida which are obviously quite aggressive and have forced the mild-mannered native Green Anole Lizards up off the ground and into the trees were life is a little calmer. This dispute went on for over 30 minutes of posturing and brief, but very violent wrestling for  breeding and territory rights until at the end one of them retreats into the shadows conceding the prime territory. Wrestling technique and strategy is quite evident in their actions, in fact it kind of reminds me of a professional wrestling performance - a lot of show and bluster and a little violence.
