A video has surfaced on the internet and it shows a chameleon giving birth. Through the video, the mother chameleon can be seen struggling to get the baby chameleon out of its womb and finally it emerges out. Chameleons can give birth in two ways- by laying eggs or by carrying the young ones inside their body. In this video, the chameleon uses the second method of giving birth. 

The 30 seconds long video begins with the mother chameleon on the branch of  a plant. As the video progresses, we see the chameleon releasing a sticky substance from itself. The sticky round substance lands on a leaf and slowly starts opening up. Slowly a tail comes out of it and the round substance transforms into a baby chameleon.
