Short-horned chameleon - tail, Ranomafana, Madagascar Hiding in a bunch of dry leafs before we found it during a roadside night tour in Ranomafana. This species can be recognized by it's ear-like lobes. Males have a short bony appendage from the snout, after which the species is named. This is very likely the female. <br />
<br />
This all-orange appearance does not seem typical, but I've had the species confirmed by multiple experts. This observation concludes our coverage of Ranomafana. You can find most coverage of Ranomafana (multiple trips and from different members) using this tag:<br />
