Usambara Giant Three Horned Chameleon 
Habitat:   Mountans of Tanzania
Size:   14
Food:   Insects

Description:   
This is the largest of the three-horned chameleon species. Although they can be kept as pets, the require alot of experience for them to thrive and survive in captivity. The Usambaras tongue is often the length of its entire body and when it locates its prey, the chameleon will usually appear of "weave" back and forth. This is done to focus and get depth perception before lashing out its tongue to capture its prey. Chameleons have eyes that can move independent of one another and have the ability to change their color to help camouflage them to their surroundings.
