Good articles.

The documentation of Furcifer oustaleti feeding on fruit is not a first though Ardi Abate documented evidence of that behavior in her chameleon video and in the CIN journals I believe (plus documented evidence of Furcifer pardalis exhibiting the same behavior).

I did know that it wasn't new...but I thought that some people might find it interesting who hadn't read about it before.

I'm not knocking you, just attention to detail things, keep posting scientific material.

From my recollection I think Ardi saw several cases of strong evidence of the behavior with the two species she may not have actually witnessed it happening.
 
I've seen a panther eat peas.

My panther Splat shot and ate kale from my fingers twice one day.
Ate both small pieces and seemed to like it.
He also tried to shoot a small piece of orange but it was too wet to stick to his tounge.

Always glad to provide something to keep everyone busy....'cause I'm sure the chameleons don't keep everyone busy! (evil grin)
