Brown Anole This reptile is so common in Florida that most people refer to them merely as "lizards". You really can not go anywhere without finding them. Able to cling to various surfaces, fast, muscular, these predators are always on the look out for some kind of bug to munch on. The males have an interesting mating ritual. First they perform a series of "push-ups", then they extrude a large colorful pouch from their neck. Florida really wouldn't be the same without them.

Commonality list This is my list of the likelihood of seeing various creatures based on my experiences. Of course, you have to be in the right habitat, the odds of seeing a Dolphin in the forest are not very good. Also, these are based a lot on my local area of Hillsborough County (Tampa). A hyperlink means some kind of info and probably some photos are available. Common If you are in the appropriate habitat, you should run into one of these. In many cases, you can't avoid them.
Uncommon These are harder to find. You'll have to spend some time outdoors and probably look a little for these. However, odds are you'll find one after a little effort.
Rare Difficult to find. Usually, it's just luck to find one, or you'll have to look very hard. You'll probably only see one every six months.
Ultra Rare Very difficult to find. Most people, even people who spend a fair amount of time outdoors, like me, never see one. Consider yourself truely priviledged if you do catch a glimpse of one in the wild.
