Inspired by a little chameleon basking in the sunshine amongst some verdant foliage in Spain.  I found myself humming the Boy George song, named him Karma Chameleon, and mused whether he might change in colour.

​Looking Closer

These intriguing creatures are distinctive and related to a lizard family.  Their feet are very extensive and they have an interesting swaying gait.  Their tongues are rapid and extrudable and they have a type of crest on their brow.  Chameleon’s eyes are independently mobile and when they eye up their prey they focus forward in coordination and have a stereoscopic vision.  They climb about in verdant foliage and hunt visually for their prey.
