Jamaican anole, Jamaica giant anole
Anolis garmani, the Jamaican giant anole, also known as the Jamaican anole or Jamaica giant anole, is a species of anole, a lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is endemic to Jamaica, but has been introduced to Florida.
The specific name, garmani, is in honor of American herpetologist Samuel Garman.
The Jamaican giant anole is by far the largest species in the Norops group, with adult males having a snout–vent length (SVL) of 10–13.1 cm (3.9–5.2 in) and females 8–9.5 cm (3.1–3.7 in). Adults are generally 20–30 cm (7.9–11.8 in) in total length, including tail, with a maximum reported total length of 36.8 cm (14 in). Although generally green, it turns dark brown during the night. The male has an orange-centered yellow dewlap, which is small and dusky in the female.
