Size: Males 4 - 5 inches. Females 2 - 2.5 inches.
Appearance: Their bodies are flattened from side to side, and more or less leaf-shaped. Small horns protrude over the eyes.
The Spectral Pygmy Chameleon eyes can move and focus independent from each other and give a nearly 360 degree view of the surroundings. They are therefore able to look in any direction, and even follow moving objects, without turning their heads or shifting body position.
Chameleons have very specialized feet. On each foot the five toes are fused into a group of two and a group of three, giving the foot a tong-like or pincer appearance. These specialized feet allow chameleons to grip tightly to narrow branches.
The Spectral Pygmy Chameleon has a very short prehensile tail.
The tongue can be 1 1/2 times the length of the body, with a sticky tip on the end to catch it's prey.
Diet: They eat small invertebrates.

Reproduction: Their reproductive habits are poorly known.

Range: Abundant throughout equatorial Africa.

Habitat: They tend to frequent the ground and low shrubbery in forested areas.


I want to thank FLChams for allowing me to use the picture.
