The large-headed anole[2] (Anolis cybotes), sometimes called the largehead anole, is a species of anole found throughout the Caribbean. It has also been introduced to Florida, with small but stable breeding populations. This species gets its name from the male's strangely large head. It is often brownish in color with lighter stripes on the flanks.
