  2. Wow, I've never seen a chameleon like this: such a beautiful animal!
    Although this munching looks a bit unappetizing, this movie is very cool!

The Parson's chameleon is a very large species of chameleon that is endemic to isolated pockets of humid primary forest in eastern and northern Madagascar. It is listed on CITES Appendix II, meaning that trade in this species is regulated. As with the majority of chameleon species from Madagascar, it is illegal to import Parson's chameleons from their native country.
