Find a chameleon!

All indicators of distribution, habitat and diet conclude that the Namaqua Chameleon will be in Kuzikus. But we have yet to see it! You can join in our first reptile study in October 2010 and help seek out this fascinating and cryptic animal. This chameleon uses their colour-changing not only for camouflage, but also for warming itself by changing the side facing the sun dark to absorb heat, and the side facing away pale to minimize heat loss!
