"VEILED CHEMELEON".
Their eyes work independently of one another allowing the chameleon to look in front of and behind itself at the same time. My small DSC S60 was in my left hand trying to click on it. The chemeleon moved its whole eye socket to the right watching, INTENSIVELY, at the clicking Sony. How strange!!!
Even more strange are their tongues. They have a long sticky tongue that they use to capture their insect prey. Veiled chameleons are ambush predators and are capable of lying still for very long periods of time waiting for an unsuspecting locust to wander by.
Its body is adapted PERFECTLY to live within a desert environment. Veiled chameleons prefer to drink water that is in drops or on leaves.
Where are they from:
The veiled chameleon, Chamaeleo calyptratus, is a large species of chameleon found in the mountain regions of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. It is also sometimes referred to as the Yemen Chameleon.

Hi Mario,
Very nicely closed on the eye that works independently with the other. Colors and details are very well seen in fine framing. Interesting notes too and thanks so much for sharing.
Regards,
Jusni
