Veiled Chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus)... Arabian Peninsula...big crest on its head? It’s not just a fashion statement. It works like a built-in water collector. Since their habitat is hot, water build up on the crest drips right down into the chameleon’s mouth for a quick drink. #wildlife #reptiles #nature #photo #biology

"With a little teamwork (and a lot of muscle), D-Watch officers managed to load up the very large, very determined and ridiculously heavy 'dinosaur' and return him safely to his enclosure."

Giant pterosaurs could fly 10,000 Miles nonstop seemingly. (source of the article in ALT). I guess that was like #airbnb for real...

New video out!
Today has not gone well ($700+ in the can for a phone replacement), but this trip did; looking back to the last adventure of 2025, which started off on a Snake Road Visit that turned into the most diverse species record I've yet had there! Frogs, salamanders, more types of snakes than pretty much all previous trips combined, and even a couple spectacular lifers!
Find the video here: https://youtu.be/sN4JBi7e4Jg
