What kind of climate do most chameleons live in? 2. Which animal caught a chameleon from an undiscovered species? 3. What was the new species named after? TEXT: There are more than 160 known species of chameleons. The main distribution is in Africa and Madagascar, and the other tropical regions, although some species are also found in parts of southern Europe and Asia. There are introduced populations in Hawaii and probably in California and Florida too. New species are still discovered quite frequently. Dr Andrew Marshall, a conservationist from York University, was surveying monkeys in Tanzania, when he stumbled across a twig snake in the Magombera forest which, frightened, coughed up a chameleon and fled. Though a colleague persuaded him not to touch it because of the risk from venom, Marshall suspected it might be a new species, and took a photograph to send to colleagues, who confirmed his suspicions. Kinyongia magomberae, literally ‘the chameleon from Magombera”, is the result, and the fact it was not easy to identify is precisely what made it unique. Enjoy your lesson! Capt. Jin Jin.
