The Jackson Chameleon, A.K.A "Spike", is such a cool animal!  Did you know that this animal, in the wild, drinks water by lapping droplets off leaves?  Did you know that this type of chameleon is one of the longest living chameleons? It can live up to ten years! Jackson Chameleons also like to live alone. In the wild, many Jackson Chameleons will live in the same tree but seem to ignore one another.  There is so much to learn about this very interesting creature.  For more information and fun activities about the Jackson Chameleon, check out the following websites:

The White Dumpy Tree Frog, A.K.A "Dumbo", is another neat animal. They are usually found in northern and eastern Australia, the islands in Torres Straits, New Guinea, and have been introduced to New Zealand.  They prefer to have a moist forested environment, but their skin can adjust to drier places. You won't find these animals living near water.  You'll have to look up into the trees to find them!   Although it is not very active, it is very tame in nature and has little fear of humans.

Veiled Chameleon, A.K.A "Vinny", are one of about 80 types of chameleons called true chameleons.  Watch out for these guys because they can be somewhat aggressive!  They sure are beautiful though, and can be brightly colored. Their eyes are really neat!  Their eyes move independently, so they can look in two directions at once! The chameleon is best know for its sticky tongue that is used to catch their prey at lightening speed!

 Pixie Frogs, A.K.A "Pixie", are also known as African Bullfrogs and are one of the largest frogs in Africa. Some people in Africa even consider this frog pretty tasty! Yuck! This frog is very inactive and likes to spend time by itself and not with other Pixie Frogs. Despite their size, these frogs can jump farther than you think. It is also not unusual for this frog to live up to 35 years! WOW!
