26 ATLAS OF THE WORLD’S STRANGEST ANIMALS

Jackson’s Chameleon

Chameleons have earned their place in the annals of the strange thanks to their

well-known ability to change their colour to suit their mood. However, Jackson’s
chameleons have other abilities that are equally strange, which could well qualify
these striking reptiles as kings of the bizarre.

Horns
Male chameleons have triple
horns. Depending on the
subspecies, females may have
one or three smaller horns, or
none at all.

Mouth
Once prey has been caught, a
set of strong jaws and rows
of sharp teeth crush it before
it is swallowed.
