Puerto Rican (Puertorican) Crested Anole (Anolis cristatellus cristatellus) is a species of anole belonging to the Polychrotidae family of reptiles. This lizard is found throughout Puerto Rico and has been introduced into eastern Hispaniola and Miami-Dade County, Florida. One of the Puerto Rican Crested Anole's relatives, the Eastern Puerto Rican Crested Anole (Anolis cristatellus wileyae), is found on islands off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico, such as Culebra and Vieques, and also on the U.S. Virgin Islands.
