Posted by: zenexotics at Wed Apr 27 13:57:09 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by zenexotics ] I believe it's for sexual selection. Males with larger bigger horns are more "appealing" to females (and larger males are also healthier and stronger) and I believe it's for male-male encounters during mating season as well. Also, Chamaeleo trioceros sp. aren't very colorful (compared to F. pardalis and others) so maybe during their evolution their degree of horn size compensated for color in attracting females. It's my take on it... [ Hide Replies ]
