This representation of a Parson's chameleon measures approximately 20-feet long, one of the five giant lizard figures in a parade float presented by Rain Bird Corp. at the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade, New Year's Day in Pasadena CA. Per tournament rules, everything in the float must be covered with natural materials -- flowers, fruits, nuts, tree barks, etc. This lizard's skin is covered with nuts (pecan, brazilian and almond) and color accents provided by dried apricot, sliced loofa, lime, kumquats and others.
