We had a bouncy baby Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) hatch out in our Lizard Exhibit in the Coastal Plain Gallery! He will stay behind the scenes until he is ready to go on exhibit 🦎. Make sure you congratulate Mom and Dad on their newest addition when you visit!
I love these. We have several wild pair, and a few hatchlings in our area here in Florida!
The face you make knowing it's Friday 🙂 #cheerstotheweekend
