Are lizards smarter than we give them credit for? Check out Manuel & Levi’s feature in the magazine Ciencia about foraging and problem solving in Anolis sagrei! The study was designed and conducted entirely in the lizards’ natural environment— in aims of understanding lizard behavior in an ecologically-relevant context. In the field of animal cognition, the majority of experiments are done in the lab, and field-based work is comparatively rare. We are in great need of more studies out in nature.
