Magombera Single-horned Chameleon

Kinyongia magomberae

Classification

Kinyongia magomberae, the Magombera chameleon or Magombera single-horned chameleon, is an endangered species of chameleon found only in humid submontane forests in the Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania. The existence of this species was first realized in 2002 when a dead juvenile was found by a researcher. In the next few years, two further specimens were discovered, including one dropped by a twig snake after it had been startled.
