"Anole 1463"
Oct. 26 5km. N Villa Vigia, 1400ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
Took over (#1463) from 2" diam. dead sticks in thick thorn bush on high flat 5. of camp. It was active, but seemed to tend toward hiding and rapid erratic action rather than running away. Was running on the ground when I first saw it.
Note: Repeatedly I have seen well-warmed and active animals run swiftly for a short distance, then stop suddenly and with the body motionless, flutter one "hand" very rapidly. The motivation for this is not apparent to me, nor in the result apparent.
