The Big-nosed chameleon

One of the smallest of the arboreal chameleons, the big-nosed chameleon is named for the large, paddle-like appendage which projects from the nose region. This flexible appendage is larger and more square-shaped on males, and is believed to be used to recognise potential mates.
