Hello,

Returning from vacations to Margarita Island, Venezuela, I photographied that Anolis...

Is it possible to identify the species, or the genum, or the family???

Any idea???

Thank you very much for your help!

It is a lizard named Tropidurus hispidus from the Tropiduridae family.

Thank you for your help.
