I find chameleons fascinating.
Not only are they masters of disguise, they have eyes which turn independently of each other so that it is capable of looking forward and behind at the same time.
Then way they change colour automatically with no effort on their behalf is amazing.
This is the Common Flap-necked chameleon, the largest of our species and these are some of the changes in colour I have been able to take photographs of. The first one is how they normally look.

It is strange, this is one of the little creatures that I miss so much over here. Great photos, Diane
ReplyDeleteSo sad that we don't see them as often around gardens as we used to anymore.
ReplyDeleteI would miss them too Diane as I love these little creatures and am always on the lookout for them.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pity that they are such an endangered species Jonker. I would hate to know how many of these fascinating creatures are dying out every day without us even realising it? So sad!!
