Yah, But Can They Do One-Handed Pushups Like Jack Palance?

Scientists study Anole lizards that attract mates by doing pushups.

Seems to me that I recall Joseph Wambaugh's novel The Secrets of Harry Bright begins with a chapter on a macho lizard, and that was back in the '80's.

Cool little video. I've seen our local anoles doing the same thing on our backyard deck.

Here in Tampa these lizards are commonplace. They've been compared to US Marines, trying to impress others by doing lots of pushups and puffing out their chests.
