Lizard
Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group is paraphyletic since it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia although some lizards are more closely related to these two excluded groups than they are to other lizards. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3-meter-long Komodo dragon. Most lizards are quadrupedal, running with a strong side-to-side motion. Some lineages (known as "legless lizards"), have secondarily lost their legs, and have long snake-like bodies. Some such as the forest-dwelling ''Draco'' lizards are able to glide. They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with bright colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals. Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often being sit-and-wait predators; many smaller species eat insects, while the Komodo eats mammals a ...

Anolis Chlorocyanus
''Anolis chlorocyanus'', the Tiburon green anole or Hispaniolan green anole or Jeremie Anole, is a species of anole endemic to Haiti, primarily the Tiburon Peninsula and Jérémie and Hispaniola. Taxonomy It was formerly thought to have a much wider range across Hispaniola including the Dominican Republic, and to have been introduced to Florida and Suriname, but a 2020 study found the syntypes of ''A. chlorocyanus'' to be conspecific with the syntype of the former ''Anolis coelestinus'', a Haitian endemic anole. Thus, both species were synonymized, and the widespread Hispaniolan population was described as a new species, the Dominican green anole (''A. callainus''). Due to this, ''A. chlorocyanus'' was restricted to only the population from Haiti. See also *List of Anolis lizards The large lizard genus ''Anolis ''contains around 436 accepted anole () species, which have been considered in a number of subgroups, or clades such as '' carolinensis'' and ''isolepis''.

Anolis Callainus
''Anolis callainus'', the Dominican green anole, Northern Hispaniolan green anole, or Hispaniolan green anole , is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is endemic to the Dominican Republic, where it is found throughout the eastern half of the country. It has also been introduced to Suriname and southern Florida. Previously considered conspecific with the Tiburon green anole (''A. chlorocyanus''), a 2020 study restricted ''chlorocyanus'' to the population found in western Haiti, and redescribed the eastern Dominican Republic population as a new species, ''A. callainus''. It is very similar to the North American species, the green anole ''Anolis carolinensis'' or green anole () (among other names below) is a tree-dwelling species of anole lizard native to the southeastern United States and introduced to islands in the Pacific Ocean, Pacific and Caribbean Sea, Caribbean.
