Trioceros fuelleborni, also known commonly as the flapjack chameleon, the Ngosi Volcano chameleon, and the Poroto three-horned chameleon, is a species of lizard in the family Chamaeleonidae. The species is endemic to Tanzania. [2]
The specific name, fuelleborni, is in honor of Prussian-born physician Friedrich Fülleborn, who worked in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) from 1896 to 1900. [3]
T. fuelleborni is found in southwestern Tanzania in the Poroto Mountains and on volcanoes of the Rungwe Volcanic Province. [1] [2]
The preferred natural habitat of T. fuelleborni is forest, at altitudes of 2,200–2,500 m (7,200–8,200 ft), but it has also been found in trees and bushes in suburban areas near forest. [1]
