Female Anole Lizard Dewlap Displays During Mating

Video: Female Anole Lizard Dewlap Displays During Mating

Female Green Anole Lizard (Anolis Carolinensis) bobs head and displays fairly large dewlap numerous times during mating - something usually done by the male prior to mating - in this case the male doesn't do it at all.  Female dewlaps in Anoles are understudied and new research has recently been presented at: http://www.anoleannals.org/2012/05/31/female-dewlaps/

This video contains the highlights of dewlap display from the 20 minute original video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGG-k_SUzrc

Blue Jay Catches Anole Lizard

A Blue Jay catches an Anole Lizard and stuffs it in the crevice of a tree branch to eat later as is their custom. Blue Jays may be common, but they are fascinating and intelligent birds and among the best hunters of the Backyard. No sound as I took this video through a window.

Green Anole Lizard Surviving in the Trees

Video: Green Anole Lizard Surviving in the Trees

A rare sighting of a big native male Green Anole Lizard looking to mate in the Loquat trees in the Backyard. Agressive and invasive Brown Anole Lizards have pretty much taken over the patios, house, tree trunks and ground areas of the backyard. See for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO9urKRcmoM

But it is encouraging to see a few true native Green Anole Lizards surviving higher up in the trees. Hard to believe, but the classic green lizard of Florida is becoming a rare sight in residential areas. Hopefully this one will find a mate!
