Came across this unnamed hiker on a jungle trail in Maui's Iao Valley. The lush greens of the Maui Hawaii Iao Valley jungle provides backdrop to the deep greens of the Jackson Green Horned rhino lizard hitching a ride the boys red shirt. Jacksonââ¬â¢s chameleons are a popular pet that can escape the cage and establish feral populations in Hawaii. They are bright emerald green fading to a yellowish color on their undersides. Males are generally 10-12ââ¬Â long with a long, prehensile tail accounting for half of their length, and with three horns protruding from their forehead. Females are generally a little shorter and never grow horns. Jacksonââ¬â¢s chameleons are solitary creatures which spend most of their time in trees. Chameleons move with a distinctive slow rocking motion.
