## What you should know

The little green lizard doing push-ups on every Florida fence. Completely harmless.

## Whoa

It can change from bright green to brown, and the males puff out a hot pink throat fan to show off.

## Staying safe around it

This one is genuinely harmless to people. Still look with your eyes and let it go about its day.

**Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant.** If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
