Amazing chameleons on the hunt, chameleon species from wilderness of Africa, Madagascar, India!

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!

NOBODY does a reptile video like y'all.. outstanding as usual guys thanks !

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you very much!!! That means a lot to us!!!

[@emmanuelmiquet4508]

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!

Thank you so much!!!! :)

Such a great presentation of chameleons!

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you very much!!! Still, it has very small number of views compared to snake videos!

[@Fledermausmann]

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.

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you very much for watching, we are happy that you like our video! We agree that many beautiful natural areas are being destroyed and it is sad...

[@brucebellinger9783]

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]

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.

Wow, incredible video and footage, you all do a wonderful job. This makes me want to return to Madagascar so badly! I conducted some field work there in 2016. I came across many chameleons including one brookesia, which was a favorite of mine! Great content, keep up the good work.

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you so much for watching!!! Madagascar is awesome, but nature there is dissapearing so fast...We also want to return!

[@adamanteus11]

T.melleri is my favorit

[@LivingZoology]

That is a cool species!

[@MarkScherz]

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.

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you so much, Mark!!! Oh, thanks for this info! I was not checking lately if there are any new studies about the origin of chameleons. The out-of-Africa model estimates the origin of chameleons how long time ago?

[@MarkScherz]

@@LivingZoology the origin of the family is estimated around the KPg boundary, so around 66 million years ago.

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

[@LivingZoology]

You are right, so many people have panic fear of chameleons still now! We try to educate them. These lizards are awesome!

[@jaredguerra2222]

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.

[@LivingZoology]

The one we show is Brookesia therezieni :) Yes, conservation is really needed for these reptiles and their habitats!

[@jaredguerra2222]

@@LivingZoology Oh wow! You got me lol.... Way too many identical species and even looking at others for tell tale signs are not enough because of the lack of data for distinguishment. They may just be locality specific for a few of those or something. Very Interesting

[@LivingZoology]

@@jaredguerra2222 Yes, distinguishing Brookesias is very tricky! And also most of them are quite endemic to some locality.

Thank you very much!!! We have some footage of Leaf-tailed gecko and we want to go back to get more.

[@dantestarke00]

1 false thing I noticed was their tongues actually aren’t sticky.. the tips of their tongue actually suck in (USUALLY) the head of their prey if they’re accurate enough, it’s like a suction cup on a bungee cord :)

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, is a combination of being a bit sticky with sucking in the prey :)
