Anoland has a name-that-anole quiz. Here are the instructions, translated from French by an internet website: “Salvation to all, this is a new quiz. For each species a photo of the male as well as of the female (interesting to see the fanon and the difference of the latter as a function of sex) some very simple, others quite harsh.”

I think we can refine the translation of “assez dures” from “quite harsh” to “quite hard.” What does fanon mean, is this the French term for dewlap?
Ludovic Deutsch
Hi,
Yes “quite hard” is the correct translation. And dewlap is the translation from “fanon gulaire”
Uwe Bartelt
french is difficult, but netherlands is better : dewlap is keelwas 🙂
in german : Kehlwamme or Kehlfahne
so it is

I think we should all agree to refer to the dewlap as the keelwas in every language from now on.
Peter Mudde
Nice.. but make that keelwaM. Sound even better and that’s the dutch word for real ( sorry, Uwe made a mistake..)
Uwe Bartelt
