Oustalet’s or Malagasy giant chameleons (Furcifer oustaleti) are a large species of chameleon that are endemic to the island of Madagascar. Oustalet’s chameleons are quite adaptable to human encroachment and can be found thriving in all sorts of fragmented habitat. We found several of these animals along roads, in short bushes, within villages, etc. This chameleon species is quite beautiful and exhibits a great deal of bright colouration over its body. • #reptiliatus #chameleon #lizard #furcifer
