EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment at Taronga Zoo in Sydney. In the image, a three-week-old Jacksons Chameleon can be seen delicately climbing off a male's horn. Taken by renowned photographer Greg Wood, this prize-winning photograph showcases the incredible breeding success of these remarkable tree-dwelling reptiles. The tiny chameleons, measuring only four centimeters long, are yet to develop their signature ability to transform their colorings like adults. This unique characteristic adds to the allure and fascination surrounding these creatures. The picture beautifully portrays the delicate nature of this young chameleon as it navigates its way through its environment. Taronga Zoo has achieved an extraordinary feat by successfully breeding 22 of these enchanting reptiles for the first time ever. This accomplishment highlights the zoo's commitment to conservation efforts and preserving Australia's diverse wildlife. Wood's skillful composition and attention to detail make this photograph truly exceptional. The horizontal frame perfectly captures both the intricate details of the chameleon and its surroundings within Taronga Zoo. As we admire this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the beauty and diversity found in Australia's natural world. It serves as a testament to our responsibility in protecting and appreciating these magnificent creatures that share our planet with us.
