Following Nature in South Carolina

 The Green Anole Let's face it: He's everywhere.        According to the USNPS Species Profile , Green Anoles are the only kind of anole native to the U.S. We spend a lot of time discussing non-native species in South Carolina, so the Green Anole is a little bit of a change. The Green Anole can grow up to eight inches long and even change color between shades of green and brown! Males possess a red throat pouch called a dulap that is used to attract females (more on that in the video below), but both males and females possess "oversized toes for better traction" ( USNPS Species Profile ), as the Green Anole spends lots and lots of time climbing trees, fences, and porch railings.
