Uganda’s Miniature Dinosaur
Reading edition
A grotesque creature abundant in the Kishasha Valley of Uganda is the three-horned chameleon. It grows to a length exceeding twelve inches and the males look like miniature versions of the ancient dinosaur monster, triceratops. Three curious horns, an inch to an inch-and-a-half in length, protrude from the nose and between the eyes of males.
These are extremely pugnacious animals; they use their horns in fights to the finish. At times the contests develop into prolonged pushing matches with the horns interlocked, but a really vigorous fighter can dispose of an adversary in a few minutes. African natives are terrified of these demoniacal-looking little animals.
