Have you spotted one recently?
I am fascinated by the Chameleon. Its ability to change its appearance to fit its surroundings provides this little creature from the lizard family a truly remarkable ability.
I vividly remember the one and only time I spotted one in Lahore. It was a hot summer day and I was walking the grounds of my school. In my stride, I caught a sideways glance at what I thought was an oddly shaped branch. On closer inspection, I realised it was a giant brown chameleon peering at me through those roving eyes. At first I was scared it would simply pounce on me for blowing its cover…!! But I quickly grasped that it was probably more scared of me. So I walked off not realising that the moment would be the last time I would set eyes on one of these magnificent creations of nature.
I am curious to know how many of you in Lahore continue to spot Chameleons in gardens, parks etc. and when was the last time it happened.
umm it’s not that rare, they are often found in gardens, parks, and trees :)
Despite desperate expansion of urban populace, it’s remarkable to find wonderful creatures including Chameleons, different species of toads, frogs, lizards etc.
Yes I’ve spotted Chameleon more than once; the latest sight being at Royal Palm :P
I havent seen any chameleons yet (maybe they are doing a great job camouflaging themselves) but I was certainly surprised to see squirrels here…
Really, do you mean squirrels aren’t supposed to be in Lahore. Thought I had seen plenty of them when I used to live there. Or are you just pulling our leg there :)))
