My teacher really said "don't look at all the comments from the students mad at their bio teacher for making them watch this. ITS A VERY COOOOOOOL VIDEO"
We had to watch this for my Biology 115 Lab at Rider University. I really do have to say this was not only extremely interesting but informative as well. I love it!!!
Anoles are to this day my favorite lizards. I fell in love with them in my teens, and even after decades working with reptiles and amphibians (and everything from ants to primates), they remain my absolute favs.
They are so interesting. I believe as a kid growing up in Adams County Colorado (USA - in Brighton to be exact) one variety/genus of anoles did a MASS migration through our property one hot summer night. Literally hundreds just scattered! A few found that they’d rather hide in our garage than continue onwards so my dad managed to catch one and show me, the neighbor kids over at my house and their dad (drinking buddies), and my freaked out mom! One in a lifetime experience! As later on, I searched around online a little and never heard of them migrating through the midwest like they did that one time - as far as I am aware.
I was sitting in my patio in Puerto Rico and suddenly realized how many lizards there were and wondered: what is their story? How did they end up here?. I’m legit so happy I found this video. I’m from Puerto Rico and had never heard about this evolutionary story. Thank you for making me appreciate the natural fauna around me a bit more! Was not expecting the video to be specifically on the lizards I saw in my yard so that was super cool coincidence!!!
Your island is beautiful! I visited Puerto Rico for research fieldwork last summer where we worked with anoles, and I didn't want to leave given how diverse and beautiful the native flora and fauna was. We saw every species of anole on the island except for the elusive Puerto Rican Twig Anole (Anolis occultus) - but I'll be back someday to try again, I know it!
No no. They kept three islands next to each other and put lizards on at different times so when they filmed they could just go from island to island. It's like in a cooking show where they already have it premade beforehand so they can just keep filming.
I love seeing how excited scientists are to do their jobs. Its probably mostly just data but getting to catch lizards and make them race must be so fun.
That's just a great production, a clear example of evolution and it's mechanisms! Helped me a lot learning about lizards for a series of Drawing studies I"m about to make! :)
This is known as a beautiful example of adaptive radiation, and it is a biogeographical evidence of evolution. Adaptive radiation happens when an ancestral population diverges into a number of different lineages (in this case, different species) with distinct adaptive traits, in this case, morphological and ecological. Each body type of the anoles within an island descended from a common ancestor. We infer that on each island (we can think that each one contained similar environmental conditions and therefore similar selective pressures) an ancestral anole population with enough genetic variation, after many generations, at a big time scale evolved into different species. The most wonderful finding about this study is that natural selection (the mechanism of adaptive evolution) generated very similar results independently between islands. :)
i actually did, cause my friend told me he had an assignment and had to watch this video and he sent me the link so ijust clicked it and now im voluntarily watching it
I really enjoyed watching this video. I have 6 green anoles that are now part of my family and it was very interesting to see how they have evolved and adapted. There are several anoles that live in my bush outside. I have taken in several when they were hurt and nursed them back to health. The 6 I have now are very smart and loving lizards. They intrigue me. Especially since everything I have read says they don't like to be held. Mine do.
I watched it for fun because we have lots of Anoles here. I've got the fast bush type and the large green tree Anoles. They are about a foot long here. We also have a softer slower green carnelian but the are losing the battle to the Anoles.
Makes sense, the length of legs of certain birds have the same adaptation it seems. Primarily tree dwelling perching birds, have shorter legs (certain owls and raptors), while those that hunt on the ground and perch on a tree tend to have slightly longer legs (robins, mockingbirds, songbirds). Wading birds and birds that live on meadows have even longer legs (plovers, cranes, secretary bird and herons). Pelicans, boobies, and other shore-birds are amphibious where they have to be streamlined for the water and aerodynamic to make dives. Penguins however, have short legs to be streamlined in the water. Ostriches and other large flightless birds took advantage of their legs rather than taking flight.
This is so funny...I used to catch the American Anoles in Florida using a fishing pole with a loop on the end. Never knew anyone ever did it but me. I did teach a couple of kids and teens how to do it.
I sure wouldn’t mind going to the Caribbeans to visit these cute lizards. It would be great to learn the trick he uses to catch them with the lasso stick 😉
Well I kind of forced myself to get to this video lol I have no clue about lizards but I have to admit, it is a very, very interesting video, now it's time to rock that project lol.
Best way to catch lizards by far. Nets get in the way and easily snag branches. I've caught many lizards this way and it is a very tried and true method. More amazingly, the lizards seem to ignore the loop even as it is passing over their heads. It's only after it is around their necks do they bolt tightening the noose more.
...strange, I just know I invented the noose and pole method of catching lizards in the 60s in Southern California. I always use fishing line. They think it's a fly or bug and chase it, then over it's head it goes and a gentle pull and - bang - I got another one!
There are Zillions of these in MIAMI/ South Florida... & Their judging how "Fast a particular anole is " .. Sometimes they just want to Chill.. ( They find humans Interesting also ) ...
I always loved watching and learning about nature loved it more then kids shows and movies what a weird little girl I was and still is but just older 😳😏
I love it but I wonder are all canopy anoles big like the one depicted in the video. Also I should go to the Caribbean some time, any specific islands/places you would suggest for nature enthusiasts,
I was forced to watch this for school but I gotta say this was pretty cool
Same
k
Did your teacher also force you to comment this
Doing it rn
Osoooo lois you have so
OI eo
My teacher really said "don't look at all the comments from the students mad at their bio teacher for making them watch this. ITS A VERY COOOOOOOL VIDEO"
"Lives in the grasses and bushes. And it's called a 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒔-𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒆." That literally made me die with laughter
You literally died and were still able to write comment?
@@dinosouth7909 haha you've made me literally die from laughter.
No creativity points for those scientists That named them
These are great _anolegies_
bro
#yeahboi
We had to watch this for my Biology 115 Lab at Rider University. I really do have to say this was not only extremely interesting but informative as well. I love it!!!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
Same, for Biology 306-0001 (Organisms and Ecology) at UW-Green Bay. Love this video!
I came here cause I have to watch this for my bio class but it was actually really interesting!
Nobody:
These scientists: gonna terrorize some lizards today
"and now she's in my noose" *lizard dangles*
ABHAHAHAH

I like many others was also forced to watch this for school
lmao same
it’s real online schooling hours
me rn :/
i’m watching it for fun
How sad that your teachers ask you to learn about your world
A few years ago we found a green anole in our backyard and kept him ever since.
(his name is Gus)
gus still alive?
@@adityadharni5027 They live up to 4 to 5 years on average, so he's probably dead by now.
i watched this for AP bio in high school and now I'm in college watching it again for a take-home final :)
Online school gang
yerrrr
Yeppppp
Facts
Yuh
What class would you even have to watch this for?
Great video. So many Biology concepts in the one video. Explained really well and good graphics. Observable Natural Selection! Great Channel
Thank you very much!

Never been but I’ve been to Costa Rica and there were anoles everywhere and yellow headed geckos
i live in south florida (miami), there are anoles everwhere, and easily one of my favorite lizard species, great vid
I am from florida too. I was obsessed with them when I was younger and I called them red beard lizards.
7:30 three visits over three years and these guys were wearing the exact same clothes?
probably just did this for this video
They didn't spend three years filming this... it was just to illustrate the experiment
No no. They kept three islands next to each other and put lizards on at different times so when they filmed they could just go from island to island. It's like in a cooking show where they already have it premade beforehand so they can just keep filming.
its fake evolution isnt real we're living a lie
@@Meeminator shut up that’s what you think. Also we are not living a lie
I was forced to watch this for school
Patrick Quirk smh I wish I did
Samee
same g
me too, hi.
Same shoutouts to Cypress Falls high school Enviromental science AP
I love seeing how excited scientists are to do their jobs. Its probably mostly just data but getting to catch lizards and make them race must be so fun.
I watched this for a class assignment and it was actually really fun and intuitive. Thank you for the great video.
Glad it was helpful!

Evolution isn't real
kaiden bacque You, good sir or madam, are certified moron if that isn’t a joke
Give me good evidence that evolution isn't real. You really can't. It's a fact of life
@@lilfatrolls91 it’s shown in the video

I came here voluntarily. Fascinating little documentary.
1:20 "Safley Catches Them" literally snares it by the neck
bruh their necks are strong enough, it doesn't even hurt them
I don't think anyone came here voluntarily.
I did
i did
Im worried for those of you who came here voluntarily
I don’t know how I got here
i actually did, cause my friend told me he had an assignment and had to watch this video and he sent me the link so ijust clicked it and now im voluntarily watching it
I adopted 4 of these little guys. They are VERY entertaining tank mates to my other guys.
This guy knows his stuff, I never thought Lizards would catch my attention ..............
This video is just so good and I can't explain why
Anoles are cute.
I saw the tiny lasso and I knew this was going to be good.
Very fascinating video, although I was mainly focused on how cute the lizards were. I wish I could see one of those in real life.
I'm fascinated to watch this as an environmental science student❤ this is amazing.
I’m so glad my bio professor made me watch this. Lizards are so cute I love them 😭 🦎🩷
I actually enjoyed this video, and that doesn't happen very often with school related content
Saw this in recommended, don't regret watching.
Pretty awesome to learn about these anole lizards. They are beautiful creatures.
They remind me of my Cuban false chameleon which is also an anole. I loved watching this and learning more about them.
14:13 Are they really that big!?!
ITS GODZILLA AHHHHH
Man’s really be out here fishing himself up some anoles
I love Anole lizards, if you rub their belly they'll fall asleep! Love horned toads as well, but they 're getting hard to find.
thank you for giving the opportunity to study

I think these lizards are very cute~! ^^
Love from South Korea~
I was forced to watch this for school, but it is actually very cool
Wow never knew i would've enjoy watching this 💚💚💚💚🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎

This was so interesting!
great video would watch again.
Glad you enjoyed it
I actually enjoyed watching this :)
Excelente información, gracias Biologos.
Just followed a google classroom link since I’m out sick
Where do I find a tutorial on how to scan a lizard?
To think I used to play with and catch these lizards growing up, and later on in life they come back for one more go at it.
This is so interesting
I sure wouldn’t mind going to the Caribbeans to visit these cute lizards. It would be great to learn the trick he uses to catch them with the lasso stick 😉
This video is very informative and interesting!
Glad you think so!
I’m obsessed with lizards they’re so cute, so I don’t even care if this is for a school assignment
Ok but that first simulation had me in tears
very cool species!!
Yessir, google classroom got me actin up
Super interesting, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
0:18 poor guy was really trying
I see people saying they were "forced" to watch this. It's really cool though.
I was forced to watch this for school. But i gotta say it was pretty cool
Well I kind of forced myself to get to this video lol I have no clue about lizards but I have to admit, it is a very, very interesting video, now it's time to rock that project lol.
I'm also here for a Biology class, but I'm in college...
> I like watching nature videos/documentaries, so no qualms here...
Here because my toddler loves geckos/lizards
Never seen this in school. I just love reptiles 😁
This is good video!!
I'm glad you like it
Absolutely fantastic!
i have some bark anoles aka trunk grounds in captivity. super cool anolis species
This is awesome! Great info!!
Amazing!
Thanks!
i swear we watched this is class right before this pandemic and now we're back to it? ughhh
I'm an adult who watched this for fun.
firas osmani enjoyed this video! please contact him about his experience.
I had to re-read the title a couple of times before I read it correctly lol.
15:15 _A. equestrius_
*H o r s e l i z a r d*
Awesome!
Thanks!
Im not gonna lie i watched this for biology, but i forgot to note everything cause i was to drawn in, it was pretty interesting
Green ankles are actually very nice I️ have a pet and when I️ open the cage he jumps on my hand and bobs his head
Lmfao! Ik what you mean, but that typo has me keeling over laughing 😂👌
I'm sorry, am I the only one surprised at his method of catching them?
haha I was expecting a net...not a dog catcher's pole..
Best way to catch lizards by far. Nets get in the way and easily snag branches. I've caught many lizards this way and it is a very tried and true method. More amazingly, the lizards seem to ignore the loop even as it is passing over their heads. It's only after it is around their necks do they bolt tightening the noose more.
When I was little I use to catch them made my pole with grass
...strange, I just know I invented the noose and pole method of catching lizards in the 60s in Southern California. I always use fishing line. They think it's a fly or bug and chase it, then over it's head it goes and a gentle pull and - bang - I got another one!
6:15 Hey, That looks like one of the Largest Anole Lizards. Plus, the largest species look like an Iguana. I wonder if they're distant relatives?
NICE VIDEO
Thanks
9:19-9:21 That lizard be like "Wtf just happened? They no eat me?"
online school check- watching this for bio
yup
this is a banger
There are Zillions of these in MIAMI/ South Florida... & Their judging how "Fast a particular anole is " .. Sometimes they just want to Chill.. ( They find humans Interesting also ) ...
hmm could I possibly do this in my terrarium.. great a short legged anole
Awww God! I am making presentation for my client and im tired now about Anole lizards...haha
Scientist: There's no way for him to hold up his weight.
Big canopy anole: Hold my beer
omg there all so cute including mine 😍😍😍
I wish learning math was as easy as learning science 😔😫
I always loved watching and learning about nature loved it more then kids shows and movies what a weird little girl I was and still is but just older 😳😏
+tag still am I mean
+tag lol I'm just talking to myself
+tag lol i love anoles tooo
I love it
but I wonder are all canopy anoles big like the one depicted in the video.
Also I should go to the Caribbean some time, any specific islands/places you would suggest for nature enthusiasts,
I did 😊
forced to watch this from school
Excellent documentary!! Except for the snaring...im not sure how I feel about that.
Mr. Smith made us watch this smithbio gang
LEZARD #charizard #ANOLES! #rickets #yeahboi
I saw these everywhere when I went to visit florida
Why doesn’t inbreeding occur in this Adam and Eve sterile Island scenario?
