I can give lots of other species that have stable equilibria with multiple mating strategies. There’s also a fair number of game theory scenarios where the Nash equilibria involve similar mixed strategies. These aren’t that uncommon in nature. The lizard example is just one of the weirder examples. This is clearly way too common for it to be labeled as “almost definitional”.
