The nose-horned chameleon is very small (they average 1 to 2.5 inches in length). Not a lot is known about this species. I came across this one on a night hike in Ranomafana National Park in central Madagascar. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 105mm with Canon 500D close up filter) ISO 400, f/20 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-600 flash units.
So this little guy was thinking “okay, I’m crawling on green leaves…what color do I want to be?” And then it hit him: “Orange! with tiny leopard spots!” He’s the kanye of chameleons: small, iconoclastic, and 9 times out of 10 a slight disappointment.
