Anolis is a genus of anoles (US: / ə ˈ n oʊ. l i z / ⓘ), iguanian lizards in the family Dactyloidae, native to the Americas.With more than 425 species, [1] it represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus, although many of these have been proposed to be moved to other genera, in which case only about 45 Anolis species remain.
Anolis marmoratus, commonly known as the leopard anole, Guadeloupe anole, or Guadeloupean anole, is a species of anole that is endemic to the islands of Guadeloupe, in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles. Five former subspecies have been elevated to species status: A. ferreus , A. terraealtae , A.kahouannensis , A.chrysops , and A.desiradei .

Anoles will eat pest insects, like this crested anole with a cockroach. Anoles are model organisms often studied in fields such as ecology, behavior, physiology and evolution. [3] [7] [17] The Carolina (or green) anole is the most-studied anole species, with the earliest dedicated studies being more than 100 years old, from the late 1800s. [97]
