About Anolis latifrons Berthold, 1846

Anolis latifrons (common name: broad-headed anole) is a species of lizard in the Dactyloidae family. It is primarily found in Colombia and Panama. It gets its common name from its distinctive large head relative to its body size. It has vibrant green coloration, and can change its color shade to camouflage itself. This species lives in lowland rainforests, is arboreal, and spends most of its time in trees. Like other anoles, it is active during the day, and its diet consists of insects and small invertebrates. It contributes to maintaining ecological balance in its native habitat.
