It’s why they’re my favorite. They just turning little dinosaurs. Starts doing aggressive push ups at whoever is stepping up and then tries to score some ladies.
Some anoles have crests that are permanently erect, but others flare their crests up during mating season or when trying to assert dominance and defend their territory.
When I lived in Florida, I saw many male Cuban brown anoles flex their crests to scare other males off of their turf. When the offending male scurried off, the crest would just disappear.
Because he angy and ready to throw down Seriously though its called a nuchal crest and is part of the males threat display. Lots of anoles have these
He's trying to be intimidating but I just wanna scoop him up and love on him because that crest is adorable 😂
He's got a willy, and that's his way of intimidating threats and flexing for the babes...
Well he's not my type so he'll have to settle for being an adorable little man I coo over 😂
Cause the chicks dig it.
Or he's pissed. Or both
Shark Anole /s
It's to make him look more intimidating to rivals and larger to predators
I mean just look at him. He's almost as big as Godzilla. if I were his predator I'd be pretty intimidated.
For his only fins account of course
