Anolis nebulosus displaying. From Jenssen (1970)
In a recent post, Rich Glor–he of little faith–claimed that the multi-splendored Sitana ponticeriana outdoes all of Anolis kind by unfurling its spectacular dewlap while standing on its hindlegs. However, Joe Macedonia set the record straight in a comment, pointing out that just such behavior was reported for A. nebulosus by Jenssen. Anyone else seen anything like this?
