Polychrus acutirostris or the Brazilian bush anole is a species of lizard native to Brazil[1].
Description
One of the lizard's predators is the Curl-crested jay[2]. The lizard is omnivorous, known for eating both insects and plants[3]. Research have also shown that the lizards are subject to bacterial infections, but rarely parasites[4]. The lizard itself is medium-sized and diurnal[5].
