What does ANOLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small, mainly tree-dwelling lizard native to the Americas, many kinds of which can shift colour, with males showing a coloured throat fan.
Anoles form a large group of lizards found from the southern United States through Central and South America, and pet owners often keep the common green kind as an easy beginner reptile. Males flash a brightly coloured flap of skin under the throat, called a dewlap, to attract mates and warn off rivals. Although sometimes nicknamed the American chameleon, the anole is not a true chameleon and shifts colour far less dramatically.
