Soft-horned Chameleon (Kinyongia tenuis) - As the name implies, the soft-horned chameleon’s horn is a soft protuberance of skin. Along with Matschie’s and Vosseler’s chameleons, the soft-horned chameleon was recently moved to the new genus Kinyongia, which is the Latinized form of the Swahili word for chameleon – kinyonga.
