The Cameroon sailfin chameleon or Cameroon two-horned mountain chameleon (Trioceros montium) is a species of chameleon endemic to Cameroon.[1][2] It has a very unusual appearance.[3]

Distribution and habitat

The Cameroon sailfin chameleon is found only in the Cameroonian highlands, including Mount Cameroon.[1][3] Because it is almost entirely restricted to rainforests ranging from Шаблон:Cvt above sea level, it is estimated only a few locations support populations of the species. However, it has also been found in small farms and gardens.[1]
