0:00
Madagascar has had a turbulent past.
0:03
At its birth, it was ripped from India and Africa,
0:07
and the geological upheavals have continued since.
0:17
The north of the island is speckled with slumbering volcanoes.
0:25
On the forested slopes lives another Madagascar speciality.
0:34
A chameleon.
0:37
Chameleons weren't amongst those pioneering castaways.
0:42
Theirs is a different story.
0:44
It's thought that they evolved here in Madagascar itself.
0:50
They're wonderfully adapted to a life in the trees.
0:54
Their toes are fused, so their feet grip like tongs.
0:59
And the arrangement of their legs is unusual for a reptile.
1:02
They're beneath their body.
1:04
This allows them to walk on branches thinner than their body.
1:18
A male panther chameleon,
1:20
one of the biggest.
1:27
A second male is in his tree.
1:30
He won't like that.
1:32
If the intruder doesn't back down,
1:34
there will be trouble.
1:53
They're evenly matched. It's neck and neck.
2:21
The territory holder wins,
2:24
and the loser takes the quickest way out.
