Chameleon Facts Sakhile Dube

- Sakhile Dube gives information about flap-necked chameleons.
In iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa, we have two different species of chameleons, Flap-necked and Setaro's dwarf.
In the movie he focus his attention on the flap-necked chameleon. He explains about their general anatomy, habitat, feeding habits and of course traditional Zulu beliefs.
The Zulu's belief that chameleons can always see you with their eyes that can turn at a 270' angle. They further believe that the chameleon can shoot you with lightning. This was a clever strategy from the elders to make children fear chameleons in order to protect them as a specie.
Hope you enjoy the movie!

^this
This. A THOUSAND times, THIS.
RIGHT!
Sho' yurr rite.
The chameleon even listening
Sakile duuuuuuube..man your voice is just too soothing
I love the way your elders teach, instead of just saying "No, don't do that.", they create a story that stays with you more easily, even into adulthood.
Isn’t that quite common if you think about it? I remember from my childhood, adults would say that if I roll my eyes or stick out my tongue, they might get stuck like that. Obviously, there is no risk of the eyes or the tongue getting stuck, it’s just a way to get children to behave.
@@eo6637 I guess that is true! I'm sure most cultures have tales like this :)
in europe we have a lot of folklore that serves the same purpose.
Personally I never liked that, you don't have to lie to kids just to accomplish some minor goal. It's not a big deal or anything, and there's definitely some very interesting regional folklore around the world because of it, but I think basing all your interactions with kids (your own especially) on honesty is by far the healthier approach, even though it's sometimes harder.
Mr Dube, you would be the world's greatest next-door neighbor. Thank you for talking here to my kid about the chameleon.
Sakhi is the best guide. Never miss a trip with him you will thrilled by nature
I feel like you are the chief of my tribe even though I am from Asia 😂😂😂.
Chief Sakhile!
Hehe
😍🤣
Lol
6:30 so wholesome he says sorry and he didn’t want to do that for you.
Man, we have lost our bond to nature and the flora and fauna in it
Thank you for the education Sakile. I am a cherokee and it delights me to hear your culture’s relationship to the world around you. I hope you receive every blessing under heaven.
I really hope this man becomes TH-cam successful.
Leon!
i love the bass in his voice
This beautiful brother said sorry after he picked up his friend 😁. What respect for others, absolutely love your content! Thanks for making all your videos, I have been watching them all and will show to all my family.
TH-camrs thank people for watching their videos, but we thank YOU for uploading videos for us!
Thanks so much Walker!
That "Chocolate Rain" dude can't hold a candle to this dude's deep smooth as velvet speaking voice.
I would LOVE to hear his singing voice
I left KwaZulu Natal at 6yrs old for the concrete prison that is council estate London..
That short time spent in Africa and the stories/information (like this video) that my Rhodesian father passed onto me will remain my most cherished memories til the day I die.
Hes no longer with us and what hurts me the most is when the realization sets in that never again will I be able to pick his brain and indulge in his stories or knowledge of the bush.
So finding a channel like this with the content you make takes me back to a time and place in my mind that I will never be able to recreate and for that I cannot thank you enough.
I could watch these videos forever, I love learning from Sakhile Dube🎉❤🎉❤
The sweetest male voice ever, replete with smile and music...❤
I would pay to go to the cinema to see a documentary with you Sakhile, I love your way of talking and your smile
Get this man in block buster movies Today no yesterday
Agh absolutely golden voice, and perfect educational content, thanks again Sakile ^.^
What an incredible voice!! You should be narrating for Nat Geo or Discovery. One of the best storytelling voices I've ever heard.
Your voice is amazing!
I don't get tired listening your voice mr Sakhile Dube
Love the content Sakile, i was lucky i could visit st lucia in 2019!
This man is precious.
I loved playing (gently I hope) with chameleons as a child growing up in East Africa. For me they will always be real magical creatures. I love how you explained the taboo and belief and how it keeps them safe!
Sakhile, You are a fantastic educator and teacher of the beautiful aspects of our languages and culture! you are a truly shining example of our love of nature and language.
It was so kind when you said I’m sorry to him 🤍🥹🙏🏼
I found your channel through Stray along the way. I watched your explanation of Ancestor religion and before that your explanation of the clicking sound.
I am someone who is fascinated by travel, cultures, religions, and languages. Your way of explaining is clear, extremely interesting, and very capturing.
Ill be looking forward to watching your videos.
As many in the comments said, you have a golden voice as well!
Thanks Anwar!
I've just come in exactly the same way!
@@ekathe85 me too :D Guess i'm following his voice now.
Exactly same lol
The algorithm got me with the click video, but now I'm in it for Sakhile himself
His voice is excellent!
Thank You Sakhile Dube!
Love the explanation behind the superstition!
I’ve always loved chameleons, they’re so cute 🦎
I could watch and listen to this man all day
Oh coming across your channel by accident was the best thing that's happened to me on TH-cam. It's normally the website of despair but you bring pure sunshine into anyone's life that is blessed to have listened to you. I am now a subscriber of your channel. An amazing human being you are sir.
This is so interesting. There is so much I don't know about Africa, and it's great to hear it first-hand from a Zulu man.
Again thank you for being you sir. Looking forward to following you. For you are awaking me in the proud and glorious history of multicultural african culture. I feel proud for our diaspora. More power to you
Such a wholesome channel! I am grateful I met you on youTube! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany. :)
You have a million dollar voice my friend, keep up the good work.
There’s never a dull moment with these videos.
hands on demonstration and amazing story telling, cant ask for much more! Lovely video as always :)
Effortlessly and pleasantly informative. If you, Sakhile, were a university professor, you would attract a packed lecture theatre for each of your sessions. 🙂😊
Chameleons are truly special
Your voice is music to my ears. Here's the best comment: Get this man in Blockbuster movies Today, no Yesterday.
The chameleon steals the show here. I can tell (especially because I've had reptilian pets) that this chameleon isn't very flustered but, like a cat, they are still mildly annoyed 😂 Sakhile, sir, you explain your understanding of both chameleon biology (which seems very accurate from what I know, and I tend to also trust people who have regular chances to observe a given species) and local mythology and culture surrounding these lovely, delicate mosquito eating treasures very well. I like the idea that the elders, understanding how important chameleons are for eating pests, created tales that gave the chameleon great power. It's very elegant. The truth may be less dramatic, but it is still true that chameleons are powerful.
8k subscribers? We need to bump this up to 100k! What a great channel.
everything about this video was fantastic.
someone seriously needs to tell Sakhile that he could very likely make millions if he tried voiceover work
Very Impressive, he sounds like the Shaka Zulu actor Henry Cele from the movie Shaka Zulu...
Hello Sakhile, greetings from California, we love hearing you talk about the wildlife and culture of Saint Lucia!
So knowledgeable! Love the videos Sakhile, keep them coming!
The British broad casting cia. is awarevof this talented man? Time megazine? National Geographic? Man, what a voice! Hugs from Brazil.
What a fantastic channel
Chameleons are beautiful.
You just told us something extremely interesting about how the elders taught the youngers to not harm the chameleons which are very beneficial to the health of the people.
I remember reading about the earliest humans and how they would teach the youngers with the ritual passing of children into manhood. There would be a formal ceremony and
the young men would be given hallucinating drugs, maybe, deep inside a sacred cave. On the walls of the cave would be the record of their tribe, where and when game would be found
as well as where water could be found. The idea was to scare these new young men so much that they would never forget what they learned. In this way they passed on their knowledge
from one generation to the next.
Man these videos are awesome. Keep them comming!
Sakhile dube, omg this Man is the Best. I've never heard someone with Such a soothing voice
#163 reporting for duty ✊🏻❤️ keep em coming...... Share these and motivate this man to keep making this solid gold content!

I love the apology (6:30) - very nice of you!
This guy is a legend
Sakhile Dube, you (and the Chameleon) are AWESOME.
You have a great gentleness knowledge and respect for this creature. Thanks for making these videos so all over can learn new things I really like them
Explanation is far far better than how it is explained in higher education institutions in various countries ... 😇
Thank you for educating me about the Chameleon and his special significance in your culture.
At my age.... I live and learn! Chameleon from Cama Leon King of Camouflage! Thank you. Sakhile Dube! :D
What a cute little creature! And I love how you apologize with it after messing up a little with its tail to show us❤ I'd do the same. Thank you for the content.
I just feel better witnessing your energy. And such an interesting video... i hope you are doing well and intend to do more videos. Best regards, from someone in a small european country
I'm so glad I found your channel by accident! You're such a delight and I love learning what you have to teach!!
Mr. Sakile Dube, thank you for the wonderful content. You have a good heart. May fortune come your way. God bless you 😊
it was nice that he said "sorry" to the chameleon when he picked his tail 🙂
Thank you so much! So informative
Ngiyabonga thisha! ❤️
Thank you Dube, I had no idea that they have 5 toes, and the tounge to be longer than the whole body, wow❤️👍👌
Voice-over brother Sakhile❤❤❤
Watched every video as soon as I found it and now every time he uploads I'm immediately watching it.
Thank you. Can't wait to learn more about South Africa, wildlife, and Zulu culture!
I would listen to this man describe a rock for days
Thank you, Sakhile.
Great voice, narration, everything! Reminds me Maya Angelou performance videos
Keep it going but can't wait for a national geographic from you.
If you made a video of you singing I think people would love it! I want to hear. 😂
Amazing creature and a story. Thank you for your work
Sakile! Love the videos man luv from Sint Maarten 🇸🇽
super interesting to learn about the Zulu culture!
The men, the legend
Hi Sakhile! We love your videos, thank you for educating the TH-cam community on Zulu culture and Africa. Our reserve borders iSimangaliso in Hluhluwe - we would love for you to visit one day and to meet you!! You are a wealth of knowledge!! Thank you for sharing with the world
This guy is great!
You are a brilliant and superbly knowledgeable man. Thank you so much for your educational presentation. Your voice is unmatched, so eloquent and natural. Thank you ssoooooo much. Would love to talk to you up close and personal.
Cute animal 🙂 you got yourself a new subscriber cheers👋🏻💪🏻
Thank you for teaching me more about your beautiful culture.
It’s so good to hear the background of how the superstitions came to be, usually you only hear of the superstition itself and nothing else, and I always wonder.
Such a good teacher
This is so cool! I learned so much about chameleons and I love the reason behind the fable. Thank you, Sakhile!
"We does have a lot of beliefs." I love his use of language native and otherwise, his voice, and his in-depth knowledge of the areas and animals he teaches about. Check out the one where he explains how to pronounce P, C, X, and Q, maybe more.
I would pay good money to listen to this man read the phone book.
Hey Sakhile, greetings from Bosnia :D
What a wonderful animal
