I would say this one is at the upper range the likely length for species. The more common three-horned chameleon is the Jackson\u2019s, which is found throughout most of East Africa (expect Uganda, Rwanda, and Bhrundi) and is problematically invasive in Hawaii, Florida, and California. The Rwenzori or Johnston\u2019s Chameleon is endemic to the higher altitudes of the Albertine Rift, and is apparently somewhat of a tourist attraction. We were blessed to see this one as easily as we did. Sony RX10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos.
