Lammergeier vs. Jackson's Chameleon
Lammergeier:
Quote:
The Lammergeier has been successfully re-introduced into the Alps, but is still one of the rarest raptors in Europe.[2]
Like other vultures it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals. It usually disdains the rotting meat, however, and lives on a diet that is 90% bone marrow. It will drop large bones from a height to crack them into smaller pieces. Its old name of Ossifrage ("bone breaker") relates to this habit. Live tortoises are also dropped in similar fashion to crack them open.

Jackson's Chameleon:
Quote:
Most chameleons are oviparous, but Jackson's Chameleon gives birth to live offspring: 8 to 30 live young are born after a five to six month gestation.
