The Blueberry Chameleon (Chamaeleo cyanococcus) also known as Powalski's Chameleon, is the largest species of chameleon found in the Lylat system and one of the rarest. It is native to the dense forests of Fortuna and Sauria earning it a nickname form the locals as the "great blue lizard".

The blueberry chameleon is by far the largest species of chameleon in the Lylat system growing far bigger than it's Earthling cousins. An adult can get up to 20 feet in height and weigh over three tons. Becuase of this enourmous size and weight, it is never hunted, and those that do will regret it for the chameleon is poisonous to eat.

This chameleon is distinctly known for two things: it's giant obese and spherical body and it's brilliant blue coloring. Like it's cousins they can change colour but onyl shades of blue-green, blue, blue-violet and violet. Darker shades show more agressive behavior and anger while lighter shades show a more docile nature. Plus, they're very slow creatures who try not to move all that much unless necessary and can sleep up to 15 hours a day.

Because of it's weight, it cannot climb trees and plants like it's Earth cousins so it sticks to the forest floors usually in clearings or in the shade of large trees. Though it can't climb it's tall enough to reach msot low branches of trees but if it needs a boost, its prehensile tall can lift it up an extra few feet. It's tail is the strongest part of it's body, able to hold up 5 tons of weight. It cna also be used to grab things or as a balance when walking.

Blueberry chameleons are omnivores although more commonly herbivores, which feast on the fruits and berries of most plants, espicially the common blueberry which makes up 4/5 of their diet and also gives them their bluish colorings. Like other insects they also prey on insects as well.

Though for their giant size and weight, they are very docile creatures and can be approached in the wild carefully. Blueberry chameleons often like attention and will enjoy being approached, being mostly solitary creatures. Sometimes blueberry chameleons will travel together in clusters, usually no more than five or six. Mainly to protect any young with them.

WARNING: though normally docile it is NEVER ok to apprach a blueberry chameleon's eggs, it's young or to get near a male chameleon with it's female counterpart during mating season. Though it is rarely documented, blueberry chameleons have been known to attack anyone that provokes them in the following above. None of these attacks so far have been fatal but many did require medical attention.

On Earth, the speices is really beginning to be introduced and already small populations in Great Lake region of U.S./Canada, forests of Germany, Poland and Czech Republic, and also Honsu island of Japan. It is estimated by 2020, the blueberry chameleon's range on earth will cover also msot of Central Europe, Turkey, Northeast Canada, all the Japanese islands and even into Korea and Southern China.

on display at the Zoo in Toronto for the first time in captivity a blueberry chameleon was on display. Named Leon, he was one of the first blueberry chameleons seen by public. He did volunteer for us to better explain his species and the public responded well.

...hopefully you will all like the speices Leon is (or at least is NOW)
