Kynsa Dwarf Chameleon

The Knysna Dwarf Chameleon (Bradypodion damaranum) is a species of dwarf chameleon in the Bradypodion ("slow-footed") genus that is endemic to South Africa. In the eastern Western Cape and western Eastern Cape, the Knysna dwarf chameleon is found on the south-facing slopes of the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma Mountains all the way to the ocean.

The Bradypodion species with the longest tails is this one. Its tongue is twice as long as its body, which is typical of most chameleons, and it can shoot it out of its mouth using a unique jaw muscle. The chameleon can now collect insects far away thanks to this. The brilliant green to bluish skin of the Knysna dwarf chameleon is adorned with purple, yellow, and pink hues, and it has a noticeable casque. It has a maximum overall length of 180 mm.
