"Rare Footage: Labord's Chameleon's Spectacular Color Display in Final Moments"
A team of documentary makers captured the world-first footage of a Labord's chameleon's vibrant color display in the last few hours of her life in Madagascar's Kirindy Forest. The chameleon's colorful spectacle, controlled by the nervous system even in death, was recorded for the PBS series Big Little Journeys, revealing the unique behavior of this species with a lifespan of just four to five months. The chameleon's short life cycle, spending most of its time as an egg, is believed to be an adaptation to cope with Madagascar's harsh seasonal variations.
