Wow! Are the arm waving and tongue protrusion common in anoles?
Robert Powell
Tongue protrusion more so than arm-waving in my experience, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an exhibition when the target wasn’t similarly engaged. Do notice the black tail of the second individual, another element in the displays of many anoles. I’m guessing the more excited dude would have a black tail (or at least partially black) if the original tail was intact.
