Brygoo's Leaf Chameleon (Brookesia brygooi) living up to its name

It is not easy to see these extremely slow-moving and tiny chameleons in identically colored dead leaves, believe you me.

  Thanks Ferdy! I'm happy to be able to add to the already impressive number of Madagascar species on this site. Plenty more to come (though I think that's all the new chameleons). Posted 2 years ago

    I was wondering, did you write a travel report? Or not your cup of tea? Posted 2 years ago

      It is totally my cup of tea (see http://www.wildherps.com/travels/index.html), but it sometimes takes me a long time to get it done! Hopefully sometime this year. Posted 2 years ago
