The Malagasy giant chameleon or Oustalet's chameleon (Furcifer oustaleti) is a large species of chameleon which is native to entire Madagascar,[2] but also has been introduced near Nairobi in Kenya (though its current status there is unclear) and in Miami-Dade County in the United States.[3][4] It occurs in a wide range of habitats, even among degraded vegetation within villages, but is relatively rare in the interior of primary forest.[1]
