Threatened species of Chamaeleontidae
Other Names:
Threatened species of ChameleonsThreatened species of Chamaeleonidae
Incidence:
In northern Africa, a substantial number of chameleons Chamaeleo chamaeleon are collected every year to supply the folklore and traditional medicine markets. It is widely believed that it possesses considerable powers of magic and is also greatly feared. As a result, many people kill chameleons on sight. The diet of chameleons themselves is also widely misunderstood and, as a consequence, few survive in captivity for long.
