Distribution of the local form Sambirano:
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/h4>\n

In the south of the city of Ambanja in northwest Madagascar, region Diana, the river Sambirano runs. Due to its size, it forms a natural border for panther chameleons and is the source of life in the region. The people here live mainly from cocoa and coffee plantations, which supply very high-quality raw materials throughout the river’s catchment area. At the mouth of the river Ramena into the Sambirano, you can find an area with mainly plantations and other secondary vegetation, where a special local form of panther chameleon can be found. The area is completely separated by the two rivers towards the neighboring local form Ambanja, and towards the sea, there is an extensive mangrove area.<\/p>\n

Appearance of the local form:<\/h4>\n

Males look very similar here, mint green with marine blue cross bands and red dots.<\/p>\n

Weight table<\/h4>\n

\"Gewichtstabelle<\/p>\n

Gewicht = weight in grams, Kopf-Rumpf-L\u00e4nge = snout-vent-length in cm, Weibchen = females, M\u00e4nnchen = males<\/p>\n

Since 2015 we have been measuring the weights of chameleons we have found in Madagascar, as far as the animals (and our scales) are participating. In the long term, an average weight in relation to snout-vent-length (measured from the tip of the nose to the cloaca) for each species could be readable from as many measurements as possible. It is important to know that all weights were measured towards the end of the rainy season (= best food supply), so they are probably maximum weights in Madagascar<\/strong>. Triangular symbols in females do not mean pregnant, round symbols mean pregnant. In the case of Furcifer pardalis<\/em>, contrary to our original assumption, there have been no serious differences in the ratio of SVL to the weight of the individual local forms.<\/p>\n
