Reptiles and Fish
Lesson Outline
Discussed habitat in the wild forests of Nosy Be, NW Madagascar (where I volunteer), including looking at ~30 large professional photos from my National Geographic expeditions. Explained how we are replicating those conditions (vegetation, temperature, humidity) in a terrarium at the School. Added spagnum moss to keep humidity above 70% in the terrarium. Introduced the Panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis), proper handling techniques, and why he changes colors (mood, temperature more so than to look like surroundings). Next week will overview camouflage in the animal kingdom. Chameleons hide by movements like leaves, not just colors. Discussed recent fishing success and am amazed at how many different fish Dutch can catch in one day!
