I have never seen chameleons racing about. It is amazing how quickly they can move when they need to see off a rival male!

I remember Labord's chameleon. It has the shortest lifespan of any known land vertebrate. It was featured on a 3-part BBC special on Madagascar & its wildlife, narrated by David Attenborough, of course.
