Overview:-
- The Tarzan Chameleon, Calumna tarzan, is a medium-sized chameleon of about 61-72mm . They roost in vegetation about 1-4 meters off the ground. The species was discovered in 2009, in two small fragment of mid-altitude (800-900m) moist rain forest in Madagascar.
- The Tarzan Chameleon inhabits a limited area within a range of about 10 square km, and because of increasing clearing and degradation of these small forests it is thought to have a highly fractionated and declining population.
- Tarzan’s Chameleon is at risk from the ongoing clearance of its humid forest habitat, and slash-and-burn farming around the edges of the forest is a severe threat to its survival.
