Many (most) young chameleons die in the mouth of another animal in the wild. Few wild animals live to "old" age. One of the most beautiful things about nature is that it is self-renewing. Predator/prey relationships benefit both species involved. Genetically speaking, we are mostly consumers...

wonderful animals, wonderful shots.

Thanks for the positive comments. These guys - 7 total at this point - have really kept me on my toes. Always learning.... @ camimom: I'll have a female for you in the spring if things continue as they have.

great sequence. Strong little dudes...

That was a fun ride. Thanks for sharing!

lovely little dudes!
