    OVERHEATING OF THE YEMEN CHAMELEON

    I did not want to go so deep in detail, almost all statements and paragraphs can be deciphered in detail of course. Here, the meaning is “they need to eat and drink more in same time period to maintain homeiostasis” (replace with to stay at same weight, to maintain same metabolic ballance)...

    OVERHEATING OF THE YEMEN CHAMELEON

    DO NOT OVERHEAT THE YEMEN CHAMELEON! WE ARE OVERHEATING More than 90% of the mighty Yemen chameleons are facing heavy overheating in captivity. I do not understand it, because nowadays, it is so easy to get reliable information about their country of origin, where they inhabit high mountain...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    This specie is really extreme, as it survives in extreme environments or latitudes, so they use extreme strategies… very revularily, their distribution is in the mediterranean region confined wither to gogh altitudes ful of fog (Yemen and Saudi Arabia - I have seen dozens there) and in the...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    As per the from lake drinking chameleon. I consider it a big exception and frankly without the comment, the pocture does not show a chameleon drinking. Thorsten is for whatever reason a vigorous opponent of fogging and I have the suspicion - well I do not want to be offensive, so I keep my...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    As far as I can, judge, not only from Madagascar, but also continental Africa, where are you find most of the chameleons in the disturbed area, and not in the primary rainforest, but rather in the secondary one, all the strata of the forest are hit by the fog equally, I have not observed any...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    With all respect, I am not that enthusiastic about this idea, because the ability of lungs to take in the droplets of fog is limited by the size of the droplets and my understanding after debates with physiologist is that they are rather small, then bigger. The bigger ones flood the alveoli and...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    Frankly, based on my reaearch the fogger oroduced waywr particles fully fall into the size range of natiral fog. Here, again, caution is advised because fog is not an objective term, but a term defined for the purposes of aviatic and marine navigation and has much to do with visibility rather...
