Yeah wasn’t thinkingOr you can have someone else risk a parasite infection on their chameleon by going to YouTube, quite a few vids of veilds eating lizards, mice
There virtually no risk of getting parasites...Or you can have someone else risk a parasite infection on their chameleon by going to YouTube, quite a few vids of veilds eating lizards, mice
Of course chameleons can eat other lizards, other chameleons, snakes and birdsNow the weird question. I have a ton of little lizards in my backyard. Should I make a test?
Completely normal, chams aren't socialites. Also he wasnt the father
From the evolutionary point of view, cannibalism is a dead-end. Exaise the better the species learns to eat itself, the sooner it will become extinct.
Thisnis why Mother Nature always builds efficient barriers or leta cannibals become extinct.
in the wild, xhameleons can eat each other but it apllies mainly to babies and adukts, which both lice in the same biotope bit different microbiotopes so that they as a rule come little in toch if at all (eg young of C calyptragus live in grass, semi adults in bushes and adults in high trees (predominantly) and there are other examples.
the shocking lictures of namaquensis withkut exception come from human manipulation: either they want to show the shocking cannibalism intentionally (what a morbide disgusting idea!in the case of strictly protected animals!) or it happened as an unwanted incident caused by ignorance or negligence
it can happen in the wild but it happens extremely rsrely and as an excemption of the rule rather than a rule
looking at natural history films, do not trust the fimmakers all what they show as natural behavior
They show what they were able to film and not always what the animals are really doing as a rule
I absolutely love respectful and friendly debates, thank you for creating this environment!Petr, you've been great to have around lately very good points you make
