I have an observation of the Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) from the southern Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. A population of these anoles lives on a south facing rock outcrop at the top of the plateau. In November 2017, I saw an individual with what appeared to have multiple hair-like features on its head. I first located this population in March 2017. Of the individuals I photographed in March 2017, neither showed evidence of these hair like features. I have been unable to locate any individuals from this population in two trips to the site in 2018.
Any thoughts on what this hair-like feature might be? Has anyone else observed this in Anolis carolinensis or any other anole species?

Interesting observation. I guess it is a fungus but it would be nice to know.

Where is this population to The University of the South at Sewanee? Just curious….
