The Cameroon sailfin chameleon[2] or Cameroon two-horned mountain chameleon[1] (Trioceros montium) is a species of chameleon endemic to Cameroon.[1][2] It has a very unusual appearance.[3]
The Cameroon sailfin chameleon is found only in the Cameroonian highlands around Mount Cameroon.[1][3] Because it is almost entirely restricted to rainforests ranging from 700 to 1900 meters above sea level, it is estimated only a few locations support populations of the species. However, it has also been found in small farms and gardens.[1]
It is usually green,[4] but males often turn blue when on display.[3] Distinguishing features on males include two large horns just above the upper jaw which are used for jousting and a prominent dorsal "sail".[3][4] The males can grow up to ten inches or 30 centimeters long[3][4] and the females can grow up to eight inches long.[4]
