Description
This wild-looking lizard is called a Jackson's Chameleon, aka Three-Horned Chameleon. I photographed him in a botanical garden on the island of Maui. Jackson's chameleons grow to a length of 12 inches and are native to Mt. Meru and Mt. Kenya in Africa. However, 36 of these animals were imported to Hawaii in 1972, to be sold in pet stores. A pet store owner released them into his backyard so that they could recover from the stress of importation and they have since bred to their current numbers.
