Today (7-20-06) I rode my brothers motor scooter through an area known as Portuguese Bend in Palos Verdes, California. I carried my camera around my neck in hopes to catch some shots of the local peacocks. I only found a few and they were elusive and difficult to shoot. I did, however, find this amazing lizard. At the time I did not know what kind it was or if it was native to the area, so I left it alone.
I have now done some research and it saddens me to know that this "3-horned chameleon" is not native to these areas and is most likely an escaped or let-loose pet. Its chances of survival in an area like this are not good. I wish I would've known better:(
