| | Carolina Anole, Anolis carolinensis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | By early November in the Piedmont, many animals are seeking places to spend the winter, and it's not uncommon for homeowners to suddenly encounter small mammals, snakes, and other creatures that have come indoors to share the warmth. |
 | | The male uses this dewlap to announce his territory to other males and, at the same time, to attract the eye of a female that hasn't yet chosen a father for her offspring. |
 | | Most Carolina Anoles hide from the weather under tree bark and old boards, deep inside brush piles, and in crevices between logs and stones. |
