See text Anolis distichus, the bark anole, North Caribbean bark anole, or Hispaniolan gracile anole, is a species of anole lizard (US: /əˈnoʊ.li/ ⓘ) native to Hispaniola (both the Dominican Republic and Haiti) and the Bahamas, and introduced to Florida, where it was first recorded in 1946.

[2][3][4] It spends most its time on tree trunks.

Its body ranges from gray-brown to green, and the dewlap is cream-white, over yellow and orange to red.

In Florida, most are gray-brown with a cream-white (pale yellow) dewlap, but more greenish individuals with a yellow-edged red dewlap also occur.

It is a fairly small anole, reaching up to 12.7 cm (5.0 in) in length.
