That is a really cool looking chameleon.
ReplyDeleteChameleons I miss! I used to enjoy watching them in the garden and seeing that tongue come out with lightning speed. Great photos. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteWe don't see nearly as many chameleons as we used to when I was a kid. He's quite interesting looking with his collar.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to find one. WHen I was there recently I looked and looked but could not find one. How unfortunate!!
ReplyDeleteThey are one animal I love to find Diane. Mostly I see the Flap-necked chameleon as he is more common here.
ReplyDeleteYou have a couple of the dwarf species in your area Jonker. I have been looking for some here but not finding any either. Unfortunately they have been driven out of the town areas.
