BestReptileGorgona Blue Anole (Anolis gorgonae), male, family Dactyloidae, only found on Gorgona Island, Cauca, Colombia
Little is known about this elusive (possibly rare) lizard, as it lives high in the trees of dense rainforest.
They may be threatened by introduced western basilisks, and other non-native animals.
Unlike most Anoles, the females are as colorful as the males, which have bright white dewlaps.
