@kidflamess Chameleons are my best friend lol. After doing research in the Everglades for 2 years l've never came across one. They are so cool, but it's unfortunate that they are an invasive species. This one on my hat is a male, he's so colorful !!! #scientist #everglades #chameleon #invasivespecies
