Nosy Mitsio Panther Chameleons

Sometimes also assigned the designer names of Soabana or Mafana, these chameleons are unique to the island of Nosy Mitsio, north of Nosy Be, off the Northwest coast of Madagascar. Primarily green at rest, with weak banding of a darker green, they fire up almost exclusively yellow. Some males may also show a darkening of the rims of the crests on the heads and eyes.
