Description:
The Panther Chameleon is an iconic species from Madagascar, famous for its vibrant colors and impressive patterns that vary depending on its mood and environment. This chameleon is primarily arboreal, living in the humid tropical forests of the island, where it hides among branches and foliage. It is also known for its ability to change color, an adaptation that helps it camouflage but is also used during fights between males or to attract a female. Although generally calm, it can become more active during the breeding season.

Photography tips:
Photograph the Panther Chameleon in its natural habitat, using soft lighting to capture its vibrant colors without disturbing it. Use a macro lens to capture the details of its skin and unique patterns. Be patient and wait for it to move or adopt a static position, allowing you to better capture its distinctive appearance. Shooting in the wild can be particularly interesting, especially when it hides among the foliage.
