Rhampholeon X

[Calavera]

I was looking through the awesome taxonomy data base on ADcham and i came across some interesting unidentified Rhampholeon sp. What looks like a brev to most, might be something completely different. The second image is of another unidentified Rhampholeon sp. I thought this particular chameleon resembled a "brev on steroids" or a tiny little seamonster. I just thought these chameleon-x were pretty interesting.

The second cham looks like some sort of green spectrum chameleon. Very cool looking nose on that guy.

The species in the second photo has been described now. It is Rhampholeon acuminatus. It is often referred to as "Rhampholeon montanus" as well as this was the name it was unofficially given while it was awaiting formal classification. The correct name is R. acuminatus, however. Definitely a cool species.
