Brown leaf chameleon

Description:

Night walk in forest adjacent to Analamazoatra reserve

Habitat:

The brown leaf chameleon occurs in eastern Madagascar (including the island of Nosy Boraha),[2] from sea level up to altitudes of over 1,250 metres (4,100 ft).[3] The floor of evergreen primary forest is the preferred habitat of the brown leaf chameleon, but it may also be found in secondary forest and adjacent overgrown plantations.[4] It seems to prefer closed-canopy forest and climbs higher in the forest (up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft)), more often than other species of Brookesia.[1]
