Pat Shipman from the AA Little Cayman Bureau checks in:
The observation that anoles nod at inanimate objects (or possibly at anoles the observer hasn’t spotted) is not new.
A few days ago, I watched an adult male sagrei repeatedly unfurling his dewlap and displaying… at an orange landscaping flag that marks the location of a large septic pipe underground. What was most interesting is that the flag was fluttering in the breeze and that it was a shade of orange almost exactly the same as the sagrei’s dewlap. Alas, I did not have a camera handy to record this event.
Has anyone else noticed sagreis paying special attention to orange objects?
