The globe-horned chameleon or flat-casqued chameleon (Calumma globifer) is a large species of chameleon endemic to isolated pockets of humid primary forest in eastern and south eastern Madagascar. - Wikipedia

 

Madagascar is home to about half the world's 150 or so species of chameleons.

 

Chameleons are small to mid-size reptiles that are famous for their ability to dramatically change colors. Contrary to popular belief, a chameleon typically does not change colors to match its surroundings. Instead, color is usually used to convey emotions, defend territories, and communicate with mates. - Wikipedia
