Trioceros quadricornis gracilior from Mount Oku

Good morning from Mount Oku, Cameroon. Yesterday was a great day where we again found what we were looking for; Trioceros quadricornis gracilior and Trioceros serratus. Here are already some images of the T. quadricornis, the other species will follow later... Later today we will go back to the sacred forest where we found most T. quadricornis gracilior yesterday, but first we will photograph the T. serratus.

We now found all montane and submontane species of chameleon. The only species of which we did not really found full adult specimen is Troceros quadricornis quadricornis. Also an adult female of T. pfefferi would complete our records... We now will head back south in an attempt to find these before descending to the lowland forest to search for T. oweni and T. cristatus. We have a little to find T. camerunensis... Since we do not have the time to visit the localities of T. eisentrauti and T. wiedersheimi, we probably have to organize a second expedition to cover all currently known species in Cameroon.

More picture later today...
