I've lived in this same house now for 13 years and I am always amazed how I can still find new things in my garden. The best thing about where I live is it backs up to the Everglades so everyday I get to see an abundance of wildlife and nature. Sometimes, I even spot something amazing and new to the garden. Yesterday I saw a long green vine that seemed to be moving. Turned out to be the tail of a Cuban Knight Anole! First time I had seen one in my garden. I snapped off a few shots through the window and then decided to see if I could actually get out there and take a picture of him. He didn't scamper off but was rather curious.
So without further ado, the Cuban Knight Anole of Casa George:
I've decided to name him Diego. Isn't he a handsome fellow? And big too! Compared to a regular Green Anole which is the size of a regular lizard, only much prettier in his lime green dress:
Both have the pink throat patches and both can change colors to match their environments.
Here is another shot I took in the past of the green anole. They wear eye shadow. :)
