Tolley’s Forest chameleon was discovered in 2017 and is very rare because it lives high in the forest canopy. Another species, the moutane side-striped chameleon, is only found at high elevations in the Rwenzori, up to 3500 meters. In the Rubooni community area, 5 species can be found, three of which are quite common. The most common is Johnston’s three – horned chameleon. The males are adorned with large horns projecting from their forehead that they use for combat with other males. Elliot’s Groove – throated chameleon is a small species and can be found on bushes or reeds near the river. Males of the strange – horned chameleon, a species that’s endemic to Rwenzori, have a larger “nose”, which its function is presumed for fighting, but is otherwise unknown up to now.
