The Untold Life of a Lizard

Herpetologists discover that a Malagasy chameleon spends most of its short life in an egg

How would you like to reformat your existence on Earth? Instead of spending nine months on the womb and 80 years walking and talking and doing what we do, why not spend 60 years inside of the womb and then spend 20 years fighting, living, having sex and doing what we do?

You know...now that I write it out, I am interested. Where do I sign up?

This is an interesting little chameleon. Every year 100% of the population dies. They are born in November during the rainy season. They triple and quadruple in size during their lifetime (four months). They live in a blaze of glory and then the females, sensing the oncoming dry season, lay eggs buried under the sand. Nine months later the little guys come out and start the process over.

So, again, lets go back to the imagination part of this post.
1. Be born.
2. Grow to be full size in a month or two.
3. Sex, war, feeding, living, death.
4. Start over.

Well...I guess this really isn't imagination, it seems kinda like how we are these days (cept for the growing to full size in a month or two part).
