Kinyonga; My bestest animal friend in the world ♥

I think I can die happy now....I hung out with a real, live, wild chameleon (kinyonga) the other day!! He was so aweome with his little sticky mitten feet and crazy googly eyeballs lookin all over the place! He was changing colors from brown to green to blue while he walked all over my arms & purse & jeans..He was opening his mouth at me like he was so tough and they puff themselves out to look bigger and intimidating!! He was just a little tiny guy, maybe 4" inches? I looked like SUCH a weirdy jumping into the bush to grab a chameleon off a branch. People here regard chameleons like pests, they're like giant spiders! Women were walking by me and jumping back when they saw I was holding one! I was sitting on the outside the gate of the AWF, giggling and talking to him all by myself..after a minute I went back inside to sit on the lawn where I could be a total weirdy in private. I try to explain that we don't have chameleons in Massachusetts, but it's pointless, I am a very strange and over excited foreigner.. I don't care! He is my besty friend...

He is kujificha/kujfananisha na mazingira (camoflauge / blends with his environment)!!!
