The Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis), commonly called the green anole, is native to the United States and is the most common lizard found in Florida in both urban and rural areas. Some call it a chameleon because of its ability to change colors, but it is not a chameleon.
And actually, a true chameleon is not found in the Americas (except in pet stores).
The Carolina anole is actually the only type of lizard that is capable of changing color, from bright green to various shades of brown. This change in color depends on temperature, humidity, mood, and overall health of the lizard. When green, they are active and usually in bright light.
