释义

anole

/əˈnəʊli /
noun
A small, mainly arboreal American lizard with a throat fan that (in the male) is typically brightly coloured. Anoles have some ability to change colour.
  • Genus Anolis, family Iguanidae: numerous species.
Check out your local pet shop and look into anoles, chameleons, and skinks, among many others....
  • Just six months later the anoles were almost exclusively tree-dwelling, and longer-legged lizards had died in disproportionate numbers.
  • Trunk-ground anoles possess long hindlimbs that result in high-speed locomotion, but impair movement on narrow perches, presumably because of the difficulty of maintaining the lizard's center of mass directly over the narrow branch.

Origin

Early 18th century: from Carib.
