Anolis carolinensis or green anole (US: / ə ˈ n oʊ. l i / ⓘ) (among other names below) is a tree-dwelling species of anole lizard native to the southeastern United States and introduced to islands in the Pacific and Caribbean.
In many respects the anoles of the Anolis carolinensis clade are typical trunk-crown anoles. They have a slender build, have large subdigital toe-pads to cling to vertical surfaces, are commonly found several metres above the ground and with the exception of A. brunneus and A. allisoni, are usually predominantly green in coloration to blend in with the vegetation in the canopy.

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 ...
The brown anole belongs to the family and genus, Datyloidae and Anolis, respectively. [26] The most closely related species to Anolis sagrei is Anolis nelsoni, also called Nelson's anole. [26] [27] The brown anole has a shorter snout length than the green anole. [16] The green anole, or Anolis carolinensis, is green or light brown patterned. [16]
Canine cardiac scare prompts dog owner to warn others about key sign of cardiac arrest in dogs
The genus Anolis is part of the larger family Dactyloidae of anoles. This is an example of convergent evolution where lizards on different islands with similar habitats may evolve to share similar morphologies. [6] Within the genus Anolis, A. evermanni is classified in the trunk-crown ecomorph, generally living in the upper trunks and canopies ...
