10 Of The World's Most Amazing Lizard Species
3. Parson's Chameleon
The Parson’s chameleon is the largest chameleon in the world in terms of weight. It is found in the rainforests of Madagascar. The head is large and triangular and has independently moving eyes. The males have ridges that run above the eyes, moving towards the nose forming horn-like structures. The females lay up to fifty eggs which take a maximum of 2 years to be hatched. After hatching, the young Parson’s chameleon becomes independent immediately. Because of their appearance, they have been imported to the USA from their native country. However, due to their delicate nature, most of them die during transportation. They are stationary animals, making a minimal movement only when eating, drinking or mating.
