Anolis equestris displaying. Photo by Ultra Violet.
We at AA obviously have a soft spot for those monstrously grotesque, yet winningly appealing giants of the anole world. Here’s a lovely picture that just passed through the tweet-o-sphere. Good pictures of knight anoles dewlapping are few and far between, and Ultra Violet kindly allowed us to reproduce it here.

Nice lighting and picture overall! I agree that giant anoles are seldom photographed dewlapping, at least in Hispaniola, it is difficult to even see one doing so, they are pretty skittish.
