Some similarities in behaviour with African montaine chameleons but more closely related to bearded dragons ?
I found it to be interesting read too and thanks for links

You're welcome! Thanks for posting the news in the first place!
They remind me a bit of my prehensile tailed anole.

It's always nice to find a long-thought-extinct animal rediscovered, e.g. crested gecko, coelacanth.

I'd always hoped they might find surviving thylacines, but I think the larger the animal—the less likelihood of that.
