At Keys View at JTNP. Extremely good camouflage in first 2 photos.

It fell from a tree and seemed stunned. I don’t know if it was injured. Shortly after this seeing this one, I saw another Anolis equestris in a different section of Tropical Park.

I wasn’t sure what this was, but this looks pretty close. It was big—I first thought it was a dragonfly. 1-1.5 inches long, maybe.

I saw 6 adults in a small pool at waterfall at specified location

In the 2nd picture, there is also a green iguana (Iguana iguana) on the left.

Seen from boardwalk

There were 2 sawfish at this spot. The NP Ranger told us we might see them at this spot.

Spotted at least 9 of them.

Juvenile

At least 8 in a canal

This is a stacked macro image of a specimen that was found dead at this location

Seems Siphonophorida is in California after all, I was waiting for the day!

~2.5 cm long
