FRUGIVORY


Today we had a very difficult time filming lizards. I am willing to go out on a limb and speculate that it was partially due to the windy conditions; wind speed was constant around 3.5 m/s with intervals of up to 7.5 m/s. The highpoint of the morning came courtesy of three curly tails which we observed sharing a fruit. The more time I spend watching these lizards the more convinced I am they are more social than anoles. Take a look at the video. The lizards are sharing the fruit showing very little, if any, sign of aggression. Kudos to Dave for recording such a nice video, I can see National Geographic calling to offer a cameraman position.
