Green Anole Standoff by Michael Oster

Great video by Michael Oster on vimeo.com.
You can watch the HD version here: http://www.vimeo.com/480228

Here is the description from the video:
You might not think that a couple feet of warm chain link fence is a big deal. But, to these 2 adult male green anole lizards, it's everything.

Watch as these 2 lizards stare each other down, head bob, and tail flick as the world passes them by. Fortunately for me, I had my HV20 along when I spotted the "action".

Location was Flatwoods park in Tampa, Florida on January 6, 2008. Shot outside on a Canon HV20 with a full zoom (these are only 6" long lizards with tail) - 24p, cine mode. Edited in iMovie05 on a Powerbook G4 and rendered in a matter of hours. Yes, hours!
