This pretty much tells all the other males in the area to “leave her alone”, which is a pretty neat trick. It seems being left alone is a natural feeling for the Panther Chameleon since other than mating season they all lead very isolated lives. Like other Chameleons, the Panther variety is also very territorial and will always defend their home range. This makes sense since it is always a good idea to protect your investments and a home is one of the biggest investments a Chameleon will have.<\/p>\n
