Molting Brown Anole

I got this photograph of a Brown Anole on a fence rail recently, but what is kind of unique is that it was in the process of molting. Moulting (old english) is a natural process whereby old skin, hair or feathers are shed to make room for new skin, hair or feathers. For a relatively short period of time the molting animal or insect can look drab or ill due to the process, even though the animal is physically fine. It took me a while to get close enough to get this wildlife photograph along with a series of others before the presumed Cuban Anole moved out of the photography range.
