Look out for invasive species! The Cuban Brown Anole is not native to the United States and has rapidly invaded the Southern US from Cuba and the Bahamas. Traveling by shipped plants since the 1970s, this species has adapted very well to its new habit and at the same time threatened the security of the native Green Anole.

The Brown Anole is very similar in its habits to the Green Anole. Their diet consists of crickets, beetles, moths, and spiders. However, they have also been found to eat small fish, lizard eggs, and even their own molted skin, and detached tails!

Did you notice the bright yellow circle around this lizard's eye? This, and their skin pattern are the key characteristics distinguishing them from the Green Anole. See if you can spot any other differences!
