Field Notes

Description:

I think this is a female, males up to 38.5cm

Habitat:

rainforest

Notes:

I spotted this on a nightwalk in Ranomafana National Park. Chameleons are difficult to see during daylight hours but at night their bodies reflect from flashlights and are much easier to see. Not 100% sure of the ID but it fits fairly well with description and range.
