The 'Dance' of the Anole [View all]

They meet.

They didn't want to meet... but one Anole crossed into another Anole's territory.

The 'dance' begins.



They continue to circle until...

They 'embrace'.






They will remain locked this way until one of the dancers retreats.


Last Anole standing. (the other one didn't die - he just ran away)


Relaxing in his kingdom.



I like the way they change when they're in fighting-mode. This was the first time I've ever seen 2 males battle each other.
