SPEAKER & TOPIC : Chameleons are the topic tonight as Chris Anderson presents a slideshow on chameleons of the world. Chris is already one of the top chameleon experts in the country. His experience in keeping numerous species in captivity is expansive, and his travels have taken him to their wild domains too. His talk will focus on the fascinating diversity and unique features of the saurian family Chamaeleonidae and discuss behaviors that make chameleons such incredible and unique members of the animal kingdom. He’ll have some live specimens along as well as high-speed video footage and a wealth of photographs. There’s only a small handful of people on the planet who are capable of sharing the amount of knowledge about the true chameleons than Chris Anderson!
MEETING SITE : In Ft. Myers, Florida at the Calusa Nature Center , near Colonial Blvd. (S. R. 884) and Interstate 75. Get off I-75 at exit #136 (old exit #22) and go west (towards the coast) on 884 (Colonial Blvd.) for one-half mile, then turn right at the first traffic light onto Ortiz Ave., and then left into the Nature Center after only one-quarter mile. The Iona House meeting site is an older dark green house located to the left (as you enter the grounds) at the rear of the complex, back near where the school busses are parked.
