A green anole (Anolis carolinensis) lizard climbs along a brick wall, Oct. 24, 2015, in Coden, Alabama. Green anoles, also known as Carolina anoles, are native to the southeastern United States. Though they can change colors from green to brown to gray, they are not true chameleons. Green anoles are important to scientific study, with scientists using them as a model for observing neurological disorders, drug delivery systems, biochemical pathways, and evolutionary diversification. They were the first target species chosen for reptilian genetic sequencing in 2005. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
