Watts's Anole is a small lizard from the Caribbean region. It lives on bushes and trees of the Antigua islands and feeds on insects.
Anolis wattsii differs from other anoles by the shape of its scales and the color of the dewlap in males. It helps maintain balance in the island nature by regulating the number of insects.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
