Anyone who studies animals behaving in their natural environments knows just how long they can spend doing nothing much. This is most definitely true of anoles as well. My colleague Jon Suh learnt this first hand last summer while working with me on Anolis sagrei in Florida. I think his video (from data he collected on lizard display variation, and sped up by 500%) perfectly captures what it feels like to spend a long time watching a lizard doing almost nothing.
I'm a graduate student at Harvard University, interested in behavioural ecology and evolution.

That is awesome. I’m sure this is exactly what Herb Alpert had in mind when he recorded that song.
