Frog Eats Anole

Surely you remember the heart-warming story–the best post AA has ever had–about Gordon, the green anole that was almost eaten by a Cuban tree frog, but somehow escaped and lived to see many more days (if you haven’t, check it out now!). Well, apparently the story doesn’t always end so happily for anole-kind. Above is a photo from Orlando, Fl, of a brown anole going down the hatch, and there’s no reason to believe that it came back up. There’s a whole series of photos on planetisuzoo.

    A paper on this phenomenon has come to my attention: Leal, M., and R. Thomas. 1992. ELEUTHERODACTYLUS COQUI (Puerto Rican coquí). PREY. Herpetological Review 23: 79–80.
