Trioceros jacksonii Chameleon on Barnacle Goose Egg
PU1220
This young female Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii, a subspecies native to the highlands of Kenya, is distinguished by the absence of horns — a trait unique to the males of the species.
Born in captivity, she was recoloured after taxidermy in soft tones to highlight the texture of her skin and subtle morphological details. She is displayed atop a Canada goose egg (Barnacle goose) — an unusual, almost ceremonial pedestal that enhances her still and dignified posture.
A highly improbable encounter between two species that were never meant to meet. Except here.
