Gorgona Blue Anole (Anolis gorgonae), male, family Dactyloidae, only found on Gorgona Island, Cauca, Colombia
- Little is known about this elusive (possibly rare) lizard, as it lives high in the trees of dense rainforest.
- They may be threatened by introduced western basilisks, and other non-native animals.
- Unlike most Anoles, the females are as colorful as the males, which have bright white dewlaps.
