Male lizards do push-ups just to get attention

Grabbing someone's attention from a distance is a challenge, particularly under noisy conditions but, according to a new study, anole lizards have devised a successful "look at me" technique: They perform multiple full body, four-legged push-ups to get their fellow lizards to turn their heads. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Does this surprise anyone who has actually seen a lizard? I mean, yup, lizards do that, I could have told you that.

My brother and I do "push ups" back at the lizards. Then they get confused. :D

They paid for a study for this? I could have told them that. Lizards make whoopie on my window screen all the time.

Yeah, our back porch was the Anoles Singles Bar. They would bob their heads and then stick out their flashy red necks.

I deduce they where trying to attact a mate. Where's my check?
