Meet Calumma uetzi, one of three new species of chameleons we described in The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society today! Is it the most beautiful chameleon species? Well, you’ll have to decide for yourself. But certainly it has an impressive display colouration!
Here, a male is giving a female the full colourshow, and she is not. having it.
You can read a little more about the new species and request the PDF here!

Cobra
I’ve always wondered what snakes would look like if they had legs. So here it is, snake-like creature, based on magnificent King Cobra
P. S. Idk I added stripes, I just like to draw them)
Reblog with your idiot pet and I will draw it very badly

Satanic leaf-tailed gecko.(Uroplatus phantasticus)
Everybody stop what you’re doing and look at this sneaky little son of a gun.
First up; what a name. I mean, seriously, satanic? Most badass name in the history of names.
Second of all, 11/10 for disguise, my good sir. How it’s possible for a lizard to resemble a dead leaf so perfectly is beyond me.
The satanic leaf-tailed gecko is endemic to Madagascar, and although individuals vary in colour, it is often mottled brown. Small black dots on the underside help distinguish it from similar species.
Not taking into account their impressive mimicry, the satanic leaf-tailed gecko is somewhat of an expert at avoiding predators through a number of other behaviours. They can completely flatten their body against whatever they’re sitting on to reduce the body’s shadow, open their jaws wide to show a frightening, bright red mouth (I’ve seen it, and yes, it is actually quite frightening), and voluntarily shed their tail in order to trick a predator.
What a top notch little guy.

Jurassic park raptor but based on what it might as well have been, a bipedal komodo dragon since it’s so far from the real deal ;)
I really need to start working on backgrounds more. In the time being, have a basilisk rider
