Ferdy, GREAT capture! What a sight that must have been, capturing one in the WILD. Of all the 4 shots you've put on JD I like this one best. The sharpness, colours are great, the shyness enhances the composition. Background is in great contrast, drawing ones eye to the masterpiece in the centre. Posted 12 years ago

The Parsons chameleon

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.
