Anolis Monte Cristo Mine, 700' lef't. Morazan, El Salvador Dec. 17, 1941. Collected 5 Anolis (914-918) near camp. The 3's of these and all the others I have collected have an orange throat fan with a large bluish-black spot on it. I have never seen an individual display the throat fan, but it can be pulled out with forceps. This lizard is virtually restricted to trees, saplings, & fence poles. They are very rarely found on the ground, and when found in this site are probably on their way from tree to tree. They are very agile, and when hard-pressed will jump several inches through the air to escape. They often jump from twig to twig in this fashion or when on the ground, if near a sapling or tree, jump several inches from the ground onto the tree or sapling. They have no preference for any particular tree species, but are widely distributed, very common, and found on all species of trees. They are usually 2 or 3 feet off the ground, but when approached, go higher until out of reach. Often, they merely move to the other side of the tree trunk. They then remain motionless, and the collector can easily approach them if he keeps the trunk between himself and the lizard: a quick look and grab more often than not obtains the specimen.
