The bearded anole or Anguilla Bank bush anole (''Anolis pogus'') is a species of anole lizard that is endemic to the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, located in the Lesser Antilles. Its range used to include Anguilla and possibly Saint Barthélemy, but it is now extirpated from both islands. Males reach a maximum length of 58 mm snout-to-vent. Males have a uniform light brown to orange-brown dorsal surface, with an off-white to yellowish ventral surface. It has a turquoise area around its eye, which may extend to its upper head, and occasionally with an otherwise rust-brown head. Females are duller in color, but are marked with a mid-dorsal stripe, and sometimes also a white flank stripe. ''A. pogus'' coexists throughout much of its range with ''A. gingivinus'', though they appear to fill different niches, for example by ''A. pogus'' preferring lower and less exposed perches. Previously described as a subspecies of ''A. wattsi'', it was elevated to species level in 1990. ==References== *. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bearded anole」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
