Panther Chameleon

Furcifer pardalis

Panther Chameleon

Adult panther chameleons inhabit forest edges, gardens, and wooded scrub in northern Madagascar. Solitary and mostly arboreal, they stalk insects and other small prey from branches with slow, deliberate movements. Males can display exceptionally vivid colors and extend their tongues roughly as far as their body length to seize prey.
