Puerto Rican Crested Anoles are a prime example of adaptation in action. In just a few decades, these citydwelling lizards have undergone remarkable evolutionary changes to thrive in an urban landscape. Longer limbs, stickier toe pads, and higher heat tolerance are just a few of the adaptations they've developed. Step into the captivating world of urban lizard discoveries with Shane CampbellStaton and anole enthusiast, Kristin Winchell. Join us on a journey into the heart of Puerto Rico to witness the transformation of anoles, and understand what it means for their survival in our humanaltered world.
