    Nice, and how timely! I think I heard from Mark Scherz that some of these species were about to be split. Posted 5 years ago

      Now there are several more chameleon species to look for when visiting Madagascar! (Which I was supposed to do this year, and am now supposed to do next year.) Posted 5 years ago
