Face off as two Anole Lizards prepare to do battle
I came out onto our deck today at Harbour Club to find some Anole Lizards sizing each other up as they prepared to defend their territory. I have never seen them quite this aggressive towards one another but I know that they are very territorial.
They were sizing each other up and would make sudden lunges for the head
One Anole had a strong hold on the other so much so that his head was almost torqued right around. The fight consisted of grabbing the opponent with the mouth and then using the legs and tail for leverage.
A number of times these two disengaged and I expected one of them to turn tail. They seemed intent on settling the territorial dispute.
Ferocious looking fellow isn't he?
This one had some colourful markings
Head on shot as this little lizard saw the camera
I'm not sure if this Anole sustained an injury but his head had reddish speckling
We find so many Anoles and Curly Tailed lizards on the grounds of Harbour Club Villas and Marina. Some are now getting quite big especially the Curly Tailed lizards. Hope you enjoyed these photos and I will look for some good ones of the Curly Tails for another post.
