Chameleons
Most of the creatures here--and there are over 100 wonderful shots--are pretty startling. (Thierry van ZuelonRalph Magazine2012-10-30)The text is concise, and the authors do a good job of covering the diversity within chameleons with interesting and easy-to-read descriptions and explanations. Enemies and Defence is an interesting chapter with fairly detailed information on the many predators and parasites of chameleons, and the varied strategies the lizards employ to avoid them. As in most other parts of the book, there is good coverage not only of the larger, more colorful, and more familiar "typical" chameleons, but also the small, drab leaf-litter inhabitants...Overall, this is a well-researched and very readable introduction to chameleons, at a reasonable price.... the photography is excellent, the information largely current, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get a good general overview of these fascinating lizards.
