Labord's Chameleon

The video explores the unique life cycle of the Lombard's chameleon, a species with the shortest life cycle among land vertebrates. Adapted to forest life, these chameleons hatch at the start of the rainy season, synchronizing their life cycle with the environment to avoid the dry season. They grow rapidly, with males becoming ready to mate in just eight weeks. Mating is competitive, and females reproduce only once before dying. By the dry season, the entire population exists only as eggs, ensuring survival through Madagascar's extreme seasons.
