Anolis capito, the bighead anole, is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae. The species is found in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. [2] Although they are active all day, it seems that these enigmatic anoles spend the majority of their time in the shade, where they reside low on trees in a shady rain forest. The mean temperature of the body is 28.8 +/- 0.5 degrees Celsius, meaning that it is 1.3 degrees Celsius higher than the substrate and 1.7 degrees Celsius higher than the air. Compared to men, females are larger and reach sexual maturity at a larger SVL. [3]
