It does exist! Of course, not every Labord&#8217;s chameleon (<em>Furcifer labordi<\/em>) is like this. But this is probably the shortest-lived chameleon in the world. They live in western Madagascar, where it is very hot and dry most of the year. During the short, intense rainy season, the chameleons hatch, grow to adulthood at record speed, mate immediately and lay eggs quickly before most of them die in the same season. The average Labord&#8217;s chameleon therefore only lives for three to five months! In contrast, the eggs lie in the ground for between eight and ten months until the next rainy season. Depending on how a rainy season turns out in western Madagascar, the Labord&#8217;s chameleon&#8217;s entire population may only exist in eggs in the worst-case scenario. A fascinating, but also somewhat creepy idea.<\/p>\n<p>#showyourcolours #internationalchameleonday #chameleonday #chameleondayMay9 #agchamaeleons<\/p>\n<p>Picture: <em>Furcifer labordi<\/em> male, photographed by <a class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/users\/863305\" rel=\"nofollow\">Lennart Hudel<\/a>, <a class=\"extiw\" title=\"w:en:Creative Commons\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/en:Creative_Commons\">Creative Commons<\/a> <a class=\"extiw\" title=\"creativecommons:by\/4.0\/deed.en\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/deed.en\">Attribution 4.0 International<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chameleon that&#8217;s been in the egg longer than it&#8217;s been alive?
