chameleon to be introduced to Florida

The veiled is the newest species of chameleon to be introduced to Florida. None of the six chameleon species living in Florida is a natural inhabitant, but the veiled chameleon comes from the coastal regions of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. While little is known about the impact of the veiled chameleon on the Florida ecosystem, there is a possibility that due to competition of resources they may displace one of the other non-native chameleon species living in Florida. The bony protrusion from the top of its head separates it from the other species of chameleons living in the area.
