I knew 10 years ago I saw them doing weird stuf and vibrating the branches ever so slightly but I could t get it on film. One of 2 free roaming panthers , the leaves infront of him would sometimes move in an odd way that could only be heard because of the way the silk ficus rustled. Usually when he was in fact hunting the big red feeder cup. Astonishing truly. I have often seen anoles head bob and almost vibrate . So much we don’t know about a lot that we think we know a lot about.

And this mentions T. goetzei too..."Species of the genera Bradypodion and Chamaeleo, as well as Trioceros goetzei, all possess a single gular pouch (morph one) formed from ventral expansion of soft tissue where the larynx and trachea meet"...

Yes I hope one day T. goetzei becomes available again- I will have a room full of them.
