The Life of Animals | Knysna Dwarf Chameleon | The Knysna Dwarf Chameleon (Bradypodion damaranum) is a species of dwarf chameleon in the Bradypodion ("slow footed") genus of chameleons that are endemic to South Africa. It is a forest dweller, found only in a limited range in the afromontane forests near Knysna, South Africa, and in certain other areas.
This gives the chameleon the ability to catch insects some distance away.Like the Cape Dwarf Chameleon it seems to be a basal offshoot of the ancestral stock which gave rise to all Bradypodion chameleon species.
The normal habitat of Bradypodion damaranum is dense, wet montane forest. This chameleon also readily adapts to living in gardens.
