  • Chameleons are amazing reptiles and one of the most specialized lizards. They are great hunters with their rocket fast tongues, eyes moving independently, and great camouflage. Watch this video to learn the basic information about chameleons and see them in the wild. Enjoy the natural footage of hunting chameleons from Madagascar, beautiful three-horned chameleons, or tiny Namaqua Dwarf chameleon in the coastal desert of South Africa. Tiny chameleon - Brookesia, is also in this video! One of the biggest, Parson's chameleon and one of the most famous, Panther chameleon, is there too!

    Another amazing documentary!
    It's really an added value to only enjoy the sight and sounds of nature and read minimal information (which doesn't prevent to go look for more if interested)!
    They are fascinating creatures in colors, behaviors, diversity and environment adaptation!

    Of the 130 species of Chameleons living on Madagascar, how many of them can cross breed? What purpose does their forward, backward, hesitation type of locomotion signify? Kudos to you for this video.

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you for watching! They do this locomotion to get an even better estimation of the distance from their prey so they can shoot their tongue more accurately. The question about cross-breeding is tricky and not sure, much more research is needed to be done, new species are still being described. After knowing which species live there we can study population genetics and find out which species are hybridizing. But in general, you can expect it in cryptic species complexes, we can imagine something happening in Brookesia for example, or some Furcifer, where several species look similar, etc.

    First of all, great mini-documentary. I can't imagine that it's very easy to find the little tykes as they wander around the forest. I find chameleons endlessly fascinating and incredibly charming. The teeny little ones are my favourites (Brookesia et al.)
    Secondly, it's with a tinge of sadness that I watch these programmes because the prognosis is looking incredibly bleak. All the most beautiful and wonderous places in the world are being cleared like there's no tomorrow. It's no coincidence that a lot of the most biodiverse places in the world are also the poorest, meaning that the people have no real choice but to pillage their land and sacrifice their natural heritage to get food on the table. It deeply saddens me. I just hope that humanity will get its act together and help to preserve what's left of our world... before it's too late.

    In memory of all the innocent chameleons we killed as little boys back in the 89s in Kenya😪 it was all out of ignorance and superstition passed onto us. Of course now I know much better. Nothing can take on the beauty of a chameleon. With a macrolens, I can only imagine the pleasure of taking a good photograph

    Beautiful footage. One small correction: we still do not know where chameleons originated; it might have been in Madagascar or in central eastern Africa-the genetic results are unclear, but the current best-supported model is out-of-Africa and not out-of-Madagascar.

    By far the Brookesia chameleons are the coolest and cutest ones because of how tiny they are. The one shown there is B. minima but there is a relatively smaller one, B. micra, also from Madagascar. Regardless we need to focus our conservation efforts to all organisms because "as many as possible" is still not enough.
