🦎Brown anole

Anolis sagrei Duméril & Bibron, 1837

沙氏變色蜥（學名：Anolis sagrei）為原產於古巴和巴哈馬群島的中小型半樹棲型蜥蜴。 原先被廣泛引入至世界各地，作為寵物出售，現在可在佛羅里達州野外發現，並往北延伸至北部喬治亞州南部，在德州、路易斯安那州、密西西比州、阿拉巴馬州、夏威夷和加利福尼亞州南部亦皆有發現。它也被引入加勒比諸島嶼和亞洲的台灣。 此物種具有高度入侵性。 在引入的地區，能達到極高的種群密度，並以非常迅速的速度擴散，沙氏變色蜥會影響許多當地物種的數量，甚至危及生存。 本物種在臺灣的首次記錄為2000年9月，於嘉義三界埔，入侵的來源不明，推測可能是本物種的蛋被藏在引入臺灣的植栽之中而被無心引進臺灣。2008年於花蓮七星潭地區也發現野外族群。臺灣於2009年開始進行移除監測計畫。
