Evolutionary Rock Stars

Evolutionary biologist teams up with some colleagues with a series of interesting short videos about the anole, a cute lizard that has taught us much.

Few creatures have revealed as many biological secrets about the workings of life on Earth as the anole. Join biologists on their yearlong examination of this creature, on a whirlwind journey that takes us from Caribbean rainforests to high-tech labs to the city of Miami, leading to incredible discoveries about the laws of the lizard.

Here’s the first of seven videos, each less than nine minutes long, from the Smithsonian Channel. See the link below the video to see the others.
