Bad apostrophe: it's Parsons' or Parsons's chameleon -- named after J.Parsons
editThe person is James Parsons, not James Parson, so "Parson's chameleon" is incorrect. Equinox ◑ 19:00, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- That was his name but Parson's chameleon is correct. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:33, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Parson's chameleon (Calumma parsonii) is a large species of chameleon, a lizard in the family Chamaeleonidae. The species is endemic to isolated pockets of humid primary forest in eastern and northern Madagascar. It is listed on CITES Appendix II, meaning that trade in this species is regulated. While it is illegal for most chameleon species from Madagascar to be exported, a limited number of Parson's chameleons can legally be exported each year from its native country. This female Parson's chameleon of the subspecies C. p. cristifer was photographed near Andasibe, Moramanga. Photograph credit: Charles James Sharp
