This is an obviously terrible picture of an anole occupying a palm tree just outside of the ticket counter at the zoo in Iquitos. The lighting was terrible, and the poor anole was spooked by the half-dozen crazy Americans trying to take its photo. This was the only shot I got, which is a shame because of all the anoles I've seen in Peru, this is the one that I'm most confident is in fact Anolis ortonii. All of the others I had seen seem to have really been Anolis fuscoauratus instead.

My Travelogues and Trip Lists page includes a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on my 2016 MT Amazon Expeditions trip.

It took nine years for me to see another Anolis ortonii. There was only one crazy American trying to take its photo, and it was resting at night anyway, so the picture came out much nicer.
