Anole lizard

Japanese: アノールトカゲ - あのーるとかげ
Anole lizard

...The representative mammal that has migrated from north to south relatively recently is the puma, while the northern opossum, armadillo, tree porcupine, and jaguar are the ones that have migrated from south to north. The main mammals that have migrated to the West Indies are the insectivorous solenodon and the rodent hutia, the anole lizards that inflate their chests to display their unique threat, reptiles such as the rhinoceros iguana, which is slightly related to the land iguana of the Galapagos Islands, beautiful birds such as the Amazon parrot and the pygmy tody, and the main amphibian is the Cuban three-toed frog.
