Summary
A pair of Anolis richardii was intentionally released into a garden in David Simonstraat, Rainville District on the northern edge of Paramaribo in May, 1973. In January, 1974, at least ten juveniles were seen on Hibiscus shrubs growing against a wall of a house and until the Hibiscus shrubs were cleared in September 1976, adult specimens were regularly observed there. Since then, A. richardii has not been seen; it is thought that while a viable population was formed for a short time, A. richardii was unable to adapt when its preferred habitat was destroyed and subsequently became extinct.
Pathway
A pair of Anolis richardii were reported to have been intentionally released into a garden in Suriname (Hoogmoed, 1981).
