A visit to Sanibel is not complete without a chase encounter of the anole lizard. Catch one if you can! These 3 – 6 inch creatures are voracious eaters of small insects and the lizards are, themselves, a food source for snakes, small animals and birds. They can evade their predators with their quick scurry, chameleon color and agility.
