Senses: The eyes extend out of their head and are covered with scaly skin and have only a small opening for seeing. Both eyes turn independently in order to look in different directions at the same time. Vision is more important than their sense of smell; visual cues use as their main defense.
Communication: Use gestures such as head bobbing, inflation of body and color changes.
Reproduction: Panther chameleons are usually isolated except for mating. After a gestation period of 30-45 days the female will descend to the ground and dig a burrow in which 14-34 eggs are laid. The female will not be involved in the hatching of her offspring and they will be independent at birth. Depending on the temperature, incubation ranges between 160-362 days.
Habitat/range: Panther chameleons are native to the northern and coastal areas of Madagascar where they live in trees and bushes, mostly in the coastal lowlands where it is warm and humid.
