An Angel's Chameleon (Furcifer angel) resting at night in Anjajavy, Madagascar

This species looks very similar to the closely related Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis), but their ranges do not overlap.

Great find! How was Anjajavy? It's a location I've never heard much about (which can be a good thing). Posted 9 years ago

It was a surprisingly fancy resort. We didn't care about the fanciness much (though that's not to say we didn't take advantage of the actual air conditioning in our room), but it was in a habitat different from the others we visited so it had some different species. You could wander around and hike freely without a guide, which was very nice. Mostly dry forest, some rocky areas, and some coastal habitat. A population of goofy-looking Coquerel's Sifakas was used to people and could be easily seen essentially every day. Our travel agent suggested it as a good place to relax at the end of our trip. We didn't do much relaxing, but it was definitely a nice place to visit. Posted 9 years ago
