A true story commented strangely…

…several dozens of specimens? Well, yes, about 3 dozens.

Oxford languages: "several - more than two but not many" just hit the lower margin…

…invasive species like these chameleons contributed to the extinction to about five thousands of native species…

True. But the contribution of the chameleons is overrated and is to be counted in breaks of per cent or even promille. There is however one species which is the real and substantial cause of a vast majority ofq these extinctions - you guess: Homo sapiens.

The dark side the moon of the eradication attempts of these little dragons that did not chose to be brought to this territory neither they were told to wait in the garden of the importeur and not move away and at all they were not prohibited to act as is their right from the early times: to feed and to reproduce. The insane cruelty reported from Hawaii - that pupils of secondary school were brought on a mission to collect them and were taught to drop the chameleons to a box full of water and ice to drawn. Or, an unethical pseudo-research was done by one of the local universities to inject chemicals into their bodies and wait until they die in pain after several days on inner organ failure… This is not reported…

Thanks to Mary Lovein, who wrote an excellent book "Chameleons in the garden" on her decades of love and observing this species in her garden, we have another picture than a terrible invasion like in the "Birds" of Hitchcock… Gentle single specimens, baptized to have names, present for months and years in huge areas, feeding mainly on non-native fauna and inspiring people to love and produce beauty and art…

You decide what is the reality…
