Tiny Big-nosed chameleon

After a long and fascinating walk in the Andasibe forest to meet the Indri Indri, we were back at the park's entrance. Waiting for our pickup back to the lodge we spotted this tiny (about half the length of a pinky) Big-nosed chameleon in the bushes.

We learned that if you are looking for a chameleon, you have to think like them. They need the heat of the sun, so you'll often find them in open places or on the edge of a forest. Yet they also need camouflage. Combine these two facts and you'll greatly improve your odds in finding them.
