| Description |
Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) The Panther Chameleon is native to Eastern Madagascar, and can grow up to 50cm. It is classified as Endangered due to habitat loss. Chameleons are among the most interesting of the lizards. They change colour for territorial display, for camouflage, or according to their emotions. A chameleon's eyes, unlike those of other lizards, move independently, and it uses them to judge distance in making an accurate 'shot' with its long, projectile tongue. The Museum is active in conservation, by raising public awareness issues and by participating in international captive breeding programmes for endangered species, this living collection is used as an important educational resource. It is very popular with the many children who visit the Museum and it is hoped that early contact with reptiles and amphibians will influence attitudes to animals, and that this will inspire a commitment to conservation and habitat protection as they grow up. |
