Green anole's scare tactics



I think this green anole was trying to scare me away.

The males usually flare their pink dewlaps to defend their territory or in courtship. 

Since I'm not a green lizard on the prowl for a mate, I believe this guy was being hostile toward me. So I backed off and let him maintain his role as king of the fence.

Yes, Mr. Anole, I'm retreating because your cute dewlap is so intimidating.
