A Parsons chameleon (Calumma parsonii)
A Parsons chameleon (Calumma parsonii). Madagascar is synonymous with these magnificent old world reptiles. Two-thirds of all known species are native to the island, the fourth largest in the world. A chameleons ability to change colour and swivel its eyes 180 degrees makes it a reptile of considerable fascination. Malagasy people will only point to a chameleon with a knuckle. If they inadvertently use an outstretched finger, they must blow on it afterwards

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a Parsons chameleon, specifically the Calumma parsonii species. Found exclusively in Madagascar, this island is renowned for being home to two-thirds of all known chameleon species, making it a reptile enthusiast's paradise. The Parsons chameleon is truly a marvel to behold with its ability to change colors and swivel its eyes an impressive 180 degrees. These unique traits have captivated people around the world and made them one of nature's most fascinating creatures. In Malagasy culture, pointing at a chameleon is considered disrespectful unless done with a knuckle. It is believed that using an outstretched finger brings bad luck or misfortune, so if someone accidentally points at a chameleon in this manner, they must blow on their finger afterwards as a way to ward off any negative consequences. This image showcases the intricate details of the mandraka lizard against lush green foliage. The photographer has skillfully captured the essence of this magnificent reptile while highlighting its vibrant colors and distinctive features. Displayed by Discover Images by AWL, this print allows us to appreciate the natural wonders found in Madagascar and serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity.
