Known for their ability to change color, they can be seen wearing a variety of colors, including brown, green, blue, yellow, red, black or white. Communication is an important reason behind these color changes. With color, chameleons can communicate with others, expressing attitudes such as their willingness to mate. Contrary to popular belief, chameleons cannot display limitless colors and do not change colors in a camouflage response to their surroundings. Instead, their skin changes in response to temperature, light, and mood. Other lizards, like the green anole, can also change color. But this green-to-brown color change is much less dramatic than the vivid, distinct color and pattern changes of chameleons. allow chameleons the ability to survey the world with nearly 360-degree vision. Chameleons belong to their own subfamily, Chamaeleoninae, which is divided into two tribes: Brookesiini (dwarf chameleons) and Chamaeleonini (typical chameleons). Currently it is believed that 134 chameleon species exist, 33 Brookesiini species and 100 Chamaeleonini species. Eight new species of dwarf chameleons have been recently discovered since 1990.

Vous êtes assis à même le sable, fixant l'horizon... partagé entre le bonheur et l'angoisse… on n'entend plus un bruit chacun retient son souffle…la température se rafraîchit…les couleurs changent et deviennent pâles…et soudain l'ombre de la lune mord le soleil petit à petit… et tout d'un coup ! il fait très froid, il fait sombre, une couronne de diamant entoure le disque noir de la lune… des flammèches roses dansent autour de ce joli "soleil noir" ! Est-ce là la fin du monde ? Mais non ! tranquillement l'ombre de la lune se retire et fait place à un éblouissant soleil ! OH ! Au même moment ce cri jaillit de toute part, la joie éclate, on prie, on pleure, on s'embrasse, on fait sauter les bouteilles de champagne... C'est déjà fini !

    Extractions: Precolonial Era, Prior to 1894 Madagascar Table of Contents This early checking of French imperial designs coincided with the spread of piracy into the Indian Ocean. In the absence of a significant naval power in waters remote from Europe, privateer vessels attacked ships of many nations for nearly forty years. The favorite hunting grounds were in the north in the Arabian Sea and Red Sea areas, but Madagascar was a popular hiding place where crews could recuperate and replenish supplies for another attack. By this time, the institution of slavery also had been implanted on the island. Madagascar became a source of slaves, not only for the neighboring islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues, but also for more distant points, including the Western Hemisphere. Madagascar's social and political structure facilitated the slave trade. Within several small coastal kingdoms, stratified societies of nobles, commoners, and slaves gave allegiance to a single king or queen. For example, the Sakalava ethnic group dominated the western and northern portions of Madagascar in two separate kingdoms. Menabe, on the barren western grasslands, had its first capital at Toliara; Boina, in the northwest, included the port of Mahajanga. The towns became centers of trade where cattle and slaves, taken in war, were exchanged with European merchants for guns and other manufactured goods. These political domains were complemented by the Betsimisaraka kingdom along the east coast, and the southern coastal kingdoms dominated by the Mahafaly and the Antandroy ethnic groups.

    Extractions: Madagascar Geographic Description: Madagascar is the fourth largest island, covering an area of nearly 226,700 square miles and stretching 1,000 miles by 350 miles. Geologically, the island was formed when it broke away from the landmass of Africa approximately 50 million years ago. The east coast is lined with coral beaches and lagoons, and from here the land rises sharply to the great central plateau that covers most of the island. This is ridged and crossed by many rivers and is interrupted by mountainous massifs. The highest of these is Massif du Tsaratanana in the north and a peak of Mt. Maromokotro at 9,436 feet. There are volcanic features such as crater lakes and steep sea cliffs in the far north and south. On the western side, the mountains fall away more gradually. While the eastern rivers plunge steeply into the Indian Ocean, those flowing westwards meander through gentler landscapes, washing down rich sediments to the broad coastal plains. The climate varies greatly from temperate in the highlands to tropical along the coasts; there are heavy seasonal rains in the north and east, but conditions are relatively dry in the central highlands and semiarid in the south. Until recently most of the island was covered in forests, ranging from tropical rain forest to cooler evergreen and deciduous woodlands. However, these forests have been devastated by slash-and-burn cultivation so that only small areas are left. The exposed soil is now suffering drastically from severe erosion.
