I was on my way to class one morning and I found this little guy on the sidewalk bricks. He is a Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis). He was about 5 inches long and was mottled green and brown. My field guide says that it has color changing abilities but is very poor in comparison to true chameleons. The plain greenish color and pinkish throat fan in addition to its small size is what sets it apart from other lizards.
