Please place a specimen of each on a tape measure with time-stamped video evidence...

Unfortunately, the last positively documented sighting of a wild C. ubermammothus was several years ago when Google Maps satellites accidentally caught one on its way to the office. Hopefully, scientists will be able to confirm whether this majestic species still has a viable breeding population or whether specimens in private zoos are the only ones remaining.

The rare Arctic Cham (Chameleo Kolderplezium) is so large that it is used by Eskimo's to pull dog sleds.

LMFAO!!!!! Kolderplezium!!!!!! Allen your sense of humor is hillarious. I love this. The longer your thread gets, the more entertaining. Great job. Not quite "trolled", but great work on your part.

Come on folks, Allen never meant this to be serious.

Chameleo Kolderplezium

Some interesting facts.

Besides pulling dog sleds C. Kolderplezium can get to over 300 pounds and feeds on flying fish and can dig holes in the arctic ice with their 17 horns and fish for halibut.

Since being domesticated the Inuit use them to fend off wolves.

The famous animal trainer Tex Manly lost a leg to one C. Kolderplezium after being mistaken as an abominable snowman.

All true...

Wasn't Tex Manly's memoir "A Million Little Chameleons" eventually revealed to be full of fabrications? Didn't witnesses come forward that he actually lost that leg after a heavy night of drinking with a rowdy gang of Heloderma vodkinskii? I think you need to check your "facts" before your start spouting off about the suppsed viciousness of the C. kolderplezium. They are actually a rather peaceful species with a rich artistic culture.

Oh please can we make it to four pages. Please, please, please....

 

[jbrough42]

Can't... quit... reading... this .... absurdity.

 

[ChamAllen]

I knew Tex...

Heloderma Vodkinskii, commonly known as the Cossack Chameleon (see photo attached) is not nearly as dangerous as the C. Kolderplezium species.

I was with Tex in Siberia when he lost the leg to the Kolderplezium or as we now call them "Saber Toothed Chams."

Please don't make me relive the gory details.

 

[Lathis]

What time of year were you in Siberia? Any chance you were able to witness the annual migration of the Furcifer wyvernii? I've heard the flocks of the Winged Panther chameleon can be quite spectacular but that they spook easy.

Between this thread and the thread that now is about eating bugs, I have laughed so hard for ages. Thank you. Great senses of humors are hard to come by.

So, you don't believe me?

Goof ball.

And I'll say it again. They are such a cool species. I looked into re-homing one here in the Tampa area. We just weren't the right fit.

[Trace]

I strongly, strongly suggest never letting the C. ubermammothus free range.

 

[camimom]

We need a like button for this forum, Trace, that was an epically awesome photo!!!

Someone should make one of a bunch of babies taking over DC, to rule the world!

 

[OldChamKeeper]

Holy **** Trace.... I've never laughed that hard over a chameleon topic ever.



My monster Parson's back in the 90's caught a hummingbird once..I thought he was gonna choke on it but he ate it.... but a baby duck? I'd have to see a pic of that to believe it
