Eastern Cape Dwarf Chameleon Bradypodion ventrale

Found in Eastern Cape, South Africa. It has a very prominent casque on the back of its head and a long, beard-like throat crest. It lives in dense thickets and shrub, and adapts very well to living in suburban gardens, but falls prey to domestic cats.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Changing color can be an effective way to hide, but there's an even better method: be smaller than an eraser! The nano-chameleon takes advantage of the chameleon's color-changing camoflage, and it's miniscule size (less than 22 mm (0.8 in) long including the tail) means that it's often overlooked by predators. It is also considered the world's smallest reptile.
