What Makes Jackson Chameleons Unique Among Their Reptile Relatives?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Jackson chameleons are among the few chameleon species that give live birth instead of laying eggs.
  • Females carry developing embryos internally for 6-7 months before delivering.
  • A single litter can contain up to 30 tiny chameleons, each independent from birth.
  • This viviparous adaptation likely evolved to protect eggs in cooler highland environments.
