Like other anoles, it can change color, in this case a darker brown to black. Its dewlap ranges from yellow to orange-red. [16] Brown anoles are typically 5.0 to 8.5 inches long. [16] The males can grow as large as their male Carolina anole counterparts, around 17.8–20.3 cm (7.0–8.0 in) long, with some individuals topping 22.9 cm (9.0 in).
In a very small species like the Bahoruco long-snouted anole the home range can be as little is about 1.5 m 2 (16 sq ft) and 2.3 m 2 (25 sq ft) in a female and male, [99] compared to a large species like the knight anole where they average about 630 m 2 (6,800 sq ft) and 650 m 2 (7,000 sq ft). [49]
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.
The knight anole (Anolis equestris) is the largest species of anole (US: / ə ˈ n oʊ. l i / ⓘ) in the Dactyloidae family.

A. allisoni is a trunk-crown anole, meaning that it is commonly found in the canopy and on the upper trunk of tall trees. It is commonly found up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) off the ground. This anole has evolved large subdigital toepads, compared to most other anoles, and this adaptations helps it to cling to vertical surfaces such as the trunks of trees.
