Anolis fuscoauratus. Photo by Roberto Langstroth

Perhaps Anole Annals readers would enjoy these shots of a displaying A. fuscoauratus on the Nassau Plateau of Suriname. The second photo shows some interesting behavior, e.g., the tail curling and the tongue protrusion. There were two individuals involved in vigorous displays…as the third blurry “artistic shot” shows… They were on a vertical trunk of a large tree about 6 meters above ground on a steep slope on the plateau in March 2010.

Wow. That dewlap looks like an inverted A. cupreus to me. Beautiful!
