How cute are these little creatures? We're sure people will be hot-footing it to Terra Natura in Benidorm to see these beauties.
Terra Natura Benidorm is celebrating the first successful captive breeding of 15 three-horned chameleons, also called the Jackson Chameleon (Trioceros jacksonii)
The zoo carefully recreated the natural habitat of these species, living in high mountain jungle areas in countries such as Kenya and Tanzania. The pair of chameleons, who arrived at the Benidorm wild animal park in 2015, has now been able to reproduce in captivity.

The babies are bound to be big hits with visitors to Terra Natura Benidorm will be able to observe the small hatchlings, which when born weighed about one gram and measured about two centimetres.
Jackson's Chameleon is well known for the three horns on the face of the males, who use these as a weapon to intimidate their rivals rather like a fighter would use his sword. In the breeding season, they make jerky movements to try to impress the females or mark their territory against their love rivals.
Look how tiny they are!
