Incredible Furcifer bifidus

An uncommon malagassy beauty: Furcifer bifidus from Vohimana, CE Madagascar

 

Furcifer bifidus is a chameleon species native to Madagascar, described by Georges Cuvier in 1829 alongside the Parsons' chameleon in the same work. This species is notable for its two large, flattened horns that protrude from its snout, distinguishing it from other chameleons.

Furcifer bifidus prefers humid tropical forests, often found in the understory and canopy. It relies on its unique coloration for camouflage among the foliage. 

Habitat loss poses a significant threat to its populations.
