Calumma hafahafa pictures

[Motherlode Chameleon]

I have not done one of these in a while. Here's another rare species that pictures are difficult or nonexistent to find. Has anyone seen or has got pictures of Calumma hafahafa? It is allegedly from an area near Ambanja and has a unique nose horn that has warranted the name of the Bizarre Nose Chameleon. This species has got lobes as well.

There is a photo in the top right of the IUCN Red List Assessment for this species: http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/172796/0 It more specifically is from an area South of Ambanja just inside Mahajanga Province.

Thanks Chris. When I bring up the page the picture is in the top left corner. Correct me if I'm wrong it seems as the specimen in the photo is a female as it does not have a horn. The horn of this species is bizarre as it is supposed to point strait up.

Madagascar definitely has got a reputation for producing some of the most original names. Do not quote me on this a past president or King was known for have the Guinness Book of World records for the longest name in the world. There is the new species Calumma tarzan as well.

Isn't there an article with the description of this species that has photo's in it? I thought I had seen it a few years ago.

Edit: this is the article I meant: Raxworthy, J. C. & Nussbaum, R. A., 2006, Six New Species of Occipital-lobed Calumma Chameleons (Squamata: Chamaeleonidae) from Montane Regions of Madagascar, with a New Description and Revision of Calumma brevicorne, Copeia, 2006(4), pp. 771-734. I checked it and it has photo's of the holotype for C. hafahafa.
