hey so i was looking through my zoology book today and i saw a picture of what they called a "european chameleon"... i was kinda confused, didnt know many lived in europe.. or asia.. anybody know an species that live in europe? or anywhere else but africa? thanks
 
It was probably Chamaeleo chamaeleon, aka European or Mediterranean chameleon. They live in Spain and Portugal.
 
You can also find in Greece, Chamaeleo africanus.
Two years ago there was a project that was supported by DGHT Chamaleons.

Best regards
