You might remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted a moose and his rather impressive dewlap. That dewlap looked like an extended goatee. Here’s what one looks like on an anole lizard. This is a male and he is displaying for any possible mates. If a female living in the area finds his colorfully extended throat sexy enough she just might stop by for a date. While displaying, the male also bobs up and down doing a sort of dance. Ironically, or perhaps not, he will do the same thing to ward off males who might want to challenge for territory. The territory in question for this guy was in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 240mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/20th of a second
It’s fantastic in Nature, that all sorts of male creatures put on these amazing dances and show off to a possible conquest. This little guy is really working on it isn’t he.. Another great shot Sean.. 🙂
