In the guide you will also learn about:

• the sheer variety among the 173 species of chameleon
• their natural habitats and how they are looked after in captivity
• their relationship with humans, from mythology to conservation work
• how they fit into life’s evolutionary tree and who are their close relations
• chameleon reproduction, defense against predators, feeding, habitat and distribution

With stunning close-up photography, this colourful guide to chameleon biology and natural history provides an illuminating insight to the lives of these unusual animals.
