Malagasy Giant Chameleon

The Malagasy Giant Chameleon is native to the island of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa.

They are the largest chameleon in length and the secon heaviset in weight. Although their typical diet is insects their large size also enables them to eat small birds and reptiles.

Chamelons are famous for changing colour. However, this colour change is used more for temperature regulation and social signalling than camouflage.

  3. We do have chameleon forest dragons in Malaysia.
    They are not really “chameleons” but they can change colours too. ;)
