About Anolis capito Peters, 1863
Anolis capito, commonly known as the bighead anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. This species is found in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Although bighead anoles are active throughout the entire day, these enigmatic lizards spend most of their time in shade. They live low on trees in shady rainforest environments. Their mean body temperature is 28.8 +/- 0.5 degrees Celsius, which is 1.3 degrees Celsius higher than the substrate and 1.7 degrees Celsius higher than the air. Females are larger than males, and reach sexual maturity at a larger snout-vent length (SVL).
