Description

Male highland anole in full display of its gular pouch. They usually do this to scare away rivals from their territory, to make an impression on a nearby female or when they are irritated; in this case he was not happy to be pointed at with the camera.

Anolis de tierras altas mostrando su colorido saco gular. Este comportamiento en los machos se presenta cuando aparecen rivales en su territorio, cuando quieren impresionar a una hembra que esté cerca o cuando están irritados; en este caso este ejemplar no está muy contento de que se le apunte con la cámara.
