MySQL Cookbook, 3rd Edition

Colophon

The animal on the cover of MySQL Cookbook, Third Edition is a green anole. These common lizards can be found in the southeastern United States, the Caribbean, and South America. Green anoles dwell in moist, shady enivornments, such as inside trees and shrubs. They subsist on small insects like crickets, roaches, moths, grubs, and spiders.

Green anoles are slight in build, with narrow heads and long, slender tails that can be twice as long as their bodies. The special padding on their feet enables them to climb, cling to, and run on any surface. They range in size from six to eight inches long. Though, as their name implies, green anoles are usually bright green, their color can change to match their surroundings, varying among gray-brown, brown, and green. Male anoles have pink dewlaps that they extend when courting or protecting their territory.
