Sir David Attenborough introduces Rommel the Chameleon.

David Attenborough recalls meetings with chameleons, many on Madagascar, and with one in particular called Rommel. From 2011.

Many of the world's chameleons live on the huge continental island of Madagascar off the Eastern coast of Africa. 

Some are tiny, as small as a finger nail - others in comparison are giants. 

Sir David Attenborough gives us his warm personal insight into the natural history of chameleons through one very special individual - a chameleon he had as a pet, called Rommel. 

Producer:  Julian Hector

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2011.
