Here is the smallest chameleon in the world!
Special Post Devoted to You
Today I would like to make a special post about my readers and some new great sites I succeeded to find. To tell the truth, it is almost impossible to express everything I want in a single post, ’cause I adore, love, like, respect my readers and want to hug them all. It’s unbelievable, sometimes, when everything is not so nice or I am just under the weather, they help to live, to go on, to think about new posts, to correct my mistakes.
For example, in my post about chameleons I didn’t know a chameleon from a lizard. Shame on me! Thanks to Minus, I am not going to cheat you anymore. This chameleon was not a chameleon, but a Green-crested lizard, Bronchocela cristatella. So, I am deleting this image.
Then, I came across a very nice blog – Holy Cuteness and I loved it, so I thought I’d share it with you. Hope you enjoy it as much as me.

How Chameleons Change Colour
How do chameleons change colours? I am ready to bet, this question is of great interest to MANY of you and MOST of you will answer: “According to its environment, or match that of the background”. Ha-ha. Actually, it’s a popular,even more than popular and widespread, but still a MISCONCEPTION. Just imagine a polka-dotted chameleon, sounds like hogwash! Don’t you think so?
Main reasons for a chameleon to change colours are: light, temperature, and emotions of this particular species. Chameleons can be of various colours: green, turquoise, blue-green and black. Skin of these animals has 4 layers and it is transparent. These 4 layers cooperate in order to produce various colours.

Chameleon
Chameleons are squamates that belong to one of the best-known lizard families. A very impressive ans strange looking creature which could easily change the color of it’s skin. The main things chameleon species do have in common is their foot structure, their eyes, their lack of ears, and their tongue.
Their eyes are the most distinctive among the reptiles. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously. It in effect gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their body!!!
