Day 4To KaseseThis is where we can find chameleons and A. nitschei(great lakes bush viper) In Rwenzori mountains, there are seven chameleon species, two of which are not found anywhere else on Earth. Tolley’s Forest chameleon was discovered in 2017 and is very rare because it lives high in the forest canopy. Another species, the moutane side-striped chameleon, is only found at high elevations in the Rwenzori, up to 3500 meters. In the Rubooni community area, 5 species can be found, three of which are quite common. The most common is Johnston’s three – horned chameleon. The males are adorned with large horns projecting from their forehead that they use for combat with other males. Elliot’s Groove – throated chameleon is a small species and can be found on bushes or reeds near the river. Males of the strange – horned chameleon, a species that’s endemic to Rwenzori, have a larger”nose”, which its function is presumed for fighting,but is otherwise unknown up to now.Hotel
