My cat found this chameleon in the grass so I picked it up and put it on the fennel.

Second clip might be better. Not easy to swop them here.
This is the second 'mamba vert' I ran into, this one was blocking the path back to the station as it was getting dark. I had to use a VERY long stick to push it aside so I could pass, it bit the stick several times!
Found first a male calling from a puddle and later probably that same male mating, I guess catching him the first time around didn't throw off his game...
