Weißt du, wieviele Chamäleons es auf der Welt gibt? Aktuell sind es genau 228 Arten! Die meisten davon kommen in Afrika vor, über 40% davon sogar nur auf der Insel Madagaskar. Aber auch im Süden Spaniens, in Italien, der Türkei und in Indien gibt es Chamäleons. Von farbgewaltig bis klein und braun, von winzig klein bis riesig groß ist alles dabei. Eine unglaubliche Vielfalt macht diese Reptiliengruppe einzigartig. Und es sind längst noch nicht alle Arten beschrieben!
