Gorgona Blue Anole (Anolis gorgonae), male, family Dactyloidae, only found on Gorgona Island, Cauca, Colombia

Little is known about this elusive (possibly rare) lizard, as it lives high in the trees of dense rainforest.

They may be threatened by introduced western basilisks, and other non-native animals.

Unlike most Anoles, the females are as colorful as the males, which have bright white dewlaps.

“New Year, new me!” It’s time to shed the old year and welcome the new one. Meet the green anole (Anolis carolinensis), a small lizard found throughout much of the southeastern United States. Did you know that as an anole grows, it sheds its old skin? This process, called ecdysis, helps the lizard get rid of damaged or infected skin and allows for new healthy skin to replace it. In fact, most reptiles (including turtles and snakes) shed their skin as they grow.

SCUBUBLE & TRITODENT (Water/Steel)

They create water bubbles around their heads that allow them to live outside of water. The tip of their tails is made of sharp metal and can be detached to be used as a throwing spear, growing back in a mater of moments.

They are based on the Water Anole (Anolis Aquaticus), a type of anole found in Costa Rica that creates air bubbles to breathe underwater
