Calumma amber video

Here's some good high quality you tube video of an Elephant Eared Chameleon Calumma amber. This was made by herpetology experts/scholars Chris Raxworthy and R. A. Nussbaum (2006). Calumma amber along with Calumma crypticum and Calumma malthe appears from this video to have some of the most brilliant coloring of the Elephant Eared Chameleons.

Raxworth & Nussbaum 2006 is the taxonomic authority (basically a citation to the species description) for the species Calumma amber, not a reference to who made the video. The video is an excerpt from the larger documentary called "ChameleonMecca Madagascar Season 2". This film was made by Leif Kämpfer of TropicMedia.de.

Thanks for the clarification. They had the references on the title and in the video and I assumed that was what the reference was too. Calumma amber was a relatively recently described species hence the 2006. Previously if my recollection if accurate again Calumma amber was once considered (before 2006) as a type of Calumma brevicornis. Again thanks for the clarification about accuracy of the date and film origins.

Kind Regards
