Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
And it’s not even a mammal!
I would offer up some chameleon facts (there are some great ones here), but really, I’m just posting this so the little guy can sit at the top of our blog for the rest of the evening while his proud parent makes the exact same face I did on seeing this picture.

Where the heck did you find this? That is eerily cute.

Our buddy Alex at Neatorama had it, via SMH.

That is fabulous. They should make a Disney movie with these guys as characters.

Unfortunately, I think Budweiser had the market cornered on these guys.
Or, you could watch the Land Before Time series, because it’s said that these three horned male chameleons might have acted quite similarly to ye olde Triceratops. One of my personal favs.

Here is one of my favorites sites to browse when I need a cute fix.

If that’s your idea of adorable, I don’t want you to ever fix me up on a blind date! Sorry, but even tiny, reptiles (or are they amphibians?) are just ugly!

Okay, it’s *itty-bitty*, and my little boy cousins would love it, but that’s not the cutest.
I think Tai Shan, a/k/a Butterstick, is still it, even though he’s a year old and 60-some pounds. :-)

Well, what is your definition of cute? “Cute” is in the eye of the beholder—-really!
