Ep 62: Madagascar Environments with Mark Scherz

Join me as I talk with Mark Scherz and we learn about how chameleon species are determined and how they get their names! Mark studies the herpetofauna in Madagascar and gives us a fascinating insight into the life and work of a scientist studying chameleons! All photos on this page are courtesy of Mark Scherz
