Here's one of the relatively few Calumma chameleons that we saw during the day. The relatively small silly nose bump on this one identifies it as a female. This was identified as C. emelinae after the split from C. nasutum by chameleon expert Chris Anderson.

That night we saw a male, with its somewhat more protuberant proboscis. This was identified as C. emelinae by chameleon expert Chris Anderson.

One of the features that distinguishes this species from the other Calumma nasutum-group species is the green cheek patch.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
