| Abstract | ||||
| Studies of the present work revealed that, the cervical muscles of chamaeleon vulgaris are relatively short due to the reduction of the neck region and the anterior shift of the foramen magnum in respect with the parietal crests. The dorsal cervical muscles (no 1,2,3) are very short in length so that those muscles may fix the skull to the neck region instead of elevating the head dorsally as in other lizards. Three small new muscles are found and described. | ||||
