It seemed like everywhere I looked in Costa Rica’s Corcovado National Park I saw anole lizards. These two clearly had a difference of opinion about something. It was pretty dark in the forest, so I had to up the ISO to 3200 and still could only get a shutter speed of 1/40th of a second. Luckily the lizards would stop for a second or so at a time as they danced around the tree with their faces locked onto each other. There are nearly 400 different kinds of anole lizards, so not easy to pinpoint this exact species. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/40th of a second
Thanks Pauline. Could be, but I think the bark anole is restricted to a few Caribbean Islands and Florida (at least that’s what the internet tells me). Very similar looking though, from the pictures.
A great image..aren’t they so well camouflaged. Pauline’s comment would seem to indicate that they can very easily be disguised against the bark of the tree.
Michael, the info with the image says he used a 200 to 400mm lens at full zoom!

Hey Michael,
I was about 12 feet away using my telephoto zoom lens at 400mm.
