Description
Chameleons are fascinating creatures: they almost always evoke in people a strong response, be it delight, wonder, or fear.
“Chameleons of Southern Africa” explores this interesting group of lizards and discusses their strange and unusual, sometimes unnerving, characteristics. It presents an overview of all types of chameleons (of which there are up to 160 species in total, worldwide), their history, geographic distribution (restricted mainly to Madagascar and Africa), reproduction, behavior, and their relationships to each other.
It also contains a clear identification guide to all southern African species – some 25 have been identified to date – together with distribution maps and colorful photographs of their many features and guises. For interested students, gardeners, naturalists, and even just the curious, “Chameleons of Southern Africa” is an essential guide to these intriguing lizards.
