Chameleons of Madagascar

A compilation poster with photos of various beautiful chameleons from Madagascar. The poster was designed by nature photographer Twan Spierings with his own photos.

Chameleons in Madagascar

When you think of the special animal species on the island, you probably think of lemurs in the first place. But just as quickly you will think of the beautifully colored chameleons in Madagascar. These stunning reptiles (family of the lizards) are found in many places in Africa, the Middle East and even some countries in Europe and Asia. But Madagascar is by far the country of the chameleons, all of Madagascar's roughly 75 chameleon species are endemic. Characteristic of the animals are the long curled tongue, the curled tail, the legs that act like grippers, the round bulging eyes and the ability to change color.
