The ecoregion on the mountain slopes, Ruwenzori Mountains, Congo (Democratic Republic)

"Nearly 350 reptile species are found in the Eastern Afromontane, of which more than 90 are endemic. About 14 percent of Africa's reptile species live in the Albertine Rift, including about 15 endemic species. Five of these endemic species are chameleons, including the Rwenzori three-horned chameleon (Chamaeleo johnstoni), which looks like a miniature Triceratops and can grow to a length of 30 centimeters. The very rare strange-horned chameleon (Bradypodion xenorhinus) has a circular protuberance on the end of its nose and is confined to the Ruwenzori Mountains, where it has been overcollected for the wildlife trade." This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Westinghouse Film and traveled to Africa from October 26, 1970 to end of March 1971.
