Description
This stamp illustrates the common chameleon, represented balancing on branches. The artist captured its characteristic silhouette: its curled prehensile tail and mobile eyes capable of looking in two different directions.

Very present in the orchards and Mediterranean gardens of Tunisia, the chameleon is at the center of many popular legends. This stamp promotes this discreet insectivore, protected by law, and raises awareness of the preservation of this fascinating reptile whose habitat is often threatened by urbanization.
