heionus heretic Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) The Meller's chameleon is the largest of the chameleons not native to Madagascar. Their stout bodies can grow to be up to two feet (two-thirds of a meter) long and weigh more than a pound (one-half kilogram). ref http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/reptiles/mellers-chameleon/ so who do you believe, nation without a picture, or national geographic? nation of course this is junta land and nation cant lie Edited December 11, 2014 by heionus heretic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Many Thais appear allergic to science, or apparently even Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The largest species of chameleon (Furcifer oustaleti) only grows to 70 cm, so whatever this creature is, it's not a chameleon (or its length has been measured in penis inches). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tormok Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 There's a photo of the Iguana on Bangkok Post. http://www.bangkokpost.com/multimedia/photo/449041/a-day-in-photos A Danish man finds a giant iguana in a roadside forest in Kalasin as he and his Thai wife ride a motorcycle to a fresh market Thursday morning. The lizard is two metres in length and weighs eight kilogrammes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isanbirder Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It does appear to be an iguana (a water monitor, which I suggested rather confidently before I saw the picture, does not have the frill along the back). I wonder where it escaped from (iguanas are native to South and Central America and the Caribbean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I've seen a few couple of Iguanas out and about. I saw a pretty big one in Chonburi once, But I agree it would have been an escapee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinx Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Check the local Zoos to see if they have had a break-out? Does it not have an ankle bracelet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isanbirder Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I see someone has caught a wallaby just outside Bangkok. How cosmopolitan the fauna is becoming! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
