In captivity, Green Anoles can live anywhere from 4 up to 8 years.
Male Anoles have a pink dewlap, or flap of skin, under their chin whereas a female doesn't always have a dewlap.
When a male Anole wants to show dominance, he will bob his head, which looks like he is doing pushups.
Green Anoles can change color from bright green to brown to grey, although being brown is a sign of an Anole being stressed.
Due to Anoles have color changing abilities they are often called "chameleons," but they are not related to chameleons.
Anoles have sticky feet which are used for climbing.
