The Life of Animals | Karoo Dwarf Chameleon | The Karoo Dwarf Chameleon (Bradypodion karrooicum) is a chameleon native to South Africa. It inhabits rather dry habitat on the border between the Great and Little Karoo of eastern Northern Cape and western Free State provinces, South Africa.
Rather, the Karoo Dwarf Chameleon belongs to a group of mostly short-tailed drab Bradypodion species which mostly inhabit semiarid to arid habitat. Its closest living relatives among these appear to be the peculiar and nearly extinct Smith's Dwarf Chameleon from mountaineous habitat, and especially the Southern Dwarf Chameleon.
