A chameleon
A chameleon. Madagascar is synonymous with these magnificent old world reptiles. Two-thirds of all known species are native to the island, the fourth largest in the world. A chameleons ability to change colour and swivel its eyes 180 degrees makes it a reptile of considerable fascination. Malagasy people will only point to a chameleon with a knuckle. If they inadvertently use an outstretched finger, they must blow on it afterwards

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and uniqueness of a chameleon, an iconic reptile synonymous with Madagascar. As the fourth largest island in the world, Madagascar is home to two-thirds of all known chameleon species, making it a true haven for these magnificent creatures. The chameleon's remarkable ability to change its color and swivel its eyes 180 degrees adds to its allure and fascination. Its adaptability and camouflage skills are truly awe-inspiring, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. In Malagasy culture, pointing at a chameleon is considered taboo. Instead of using an outstretched finger, locals use their knuckles as a sign of respect towards this extraordinary creature. If someone inadvertently uses their finger while pointing at a chameleon, they must perform a ritualistic act by blowing on it afterwards. This stunning photograph captured by NP from Discover Images by AWL perfectly encapsulates the essence of this old world reptile - the Tulear Chameleon. With intricate details showcased in every scale and vibrant colors that reflect its natural habitat, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool about one of nature's most fascinating creations
