 Pretty secretive an skittish as far as lizards go, This Cuban Anole was photographed as Jill and I were coming out of Miami-Metro Zoo-Wings of Asia exhibit, They can measure up to 16 to 20 inches when fully grown inclusive of tail, pretty temperamental/aggressive and packs a nasty bite if cornered (my personal experience trying to help an injured anole-Never again will I ever pick one up, It left a nasty/deep razor sharp cut in one of my fingers that took a long time to heal, and I had to use a pair of plier to release his jaws from bite site) Stealthy and better left alone in the wild, Originally brought from Cuba to Pet shops in the US as exotics in the 40's and 50's , many escaped and many were released into the South Florida environment, Does not tolerate the cold very well and many are found dead after bitterly cold winter days (as bitterly cold as South Florida gets  )It can change colors pretty fast to camouflage themselves, a neat animal to see in the wild!!! D70-Lens-70-200mm afs-VR-f/2.8 + 2X TC, FL=400mm, Manual mode, 1/500sec SS-f/10, ISO-200, Auto-WB, Flash i-TTL SB-800 0EV Comp Flash as main!!!, Handheld, image cropped for compositional considerations!! Any comments and or repost are always welcome !! [b]Alex Calzadilla[/b]
