Thom, Sanger, Michele Johnson, and I have been working on a paper on juvenile morphology and behavior in an anole community in Barahona, Dominican Republic. Our only problem is that A. brevirostris juveniles move so fast, we didn’t get any photos while we observed them.
So…does anyone have a photo of an A. brevirostris juvenile? If so, you will of course receive credit for your photo in addition to truckloads of good karma!

I don’t have a juvenile photo, but Jonathan has a great photo of an adult male incorrectly identified as A. distichus in his book on page 38.

Hola Natalie,
Now you mention this, makes me wonder the same thing. Juvenile A. brevirostris seem to be, rather than “fast”, less frequently seen, which could mean they could be more secretive (or scarce to human eye) than adults. I have come across very few juveniles throughout all their range so far. I do have a some pictures, but all are from adults, if you think this could help, let me know.

I think we’ve spent as much time with brevirostris as anybody but I don’t think we have a single photo of a juvenile:(

Thanks for the feedback! Michele Johnson was able to come up with some, so I think we’re in the clear.
