Thumbs up for camouflage experts!

Here we got one of our camouflage experts at the Vuyani Safari Lodge.

Chamaeleo dilepis

A juvenile Flap-necked Chameleon currently thumb sized. This little fellow will grow up to 35cm in length, up to 14inches. Like every kind of chameleons they can change their colours in varieties of brown green and yellow for this particular kind recognizable by the pale stripe on their flank.
Interesting fact is that a chameleon has 360 degree vision and can focus and direct both eyes independently, also once they lock onto a prey their tongue can shoot out at a speed of 21km/h.

Hard to spot in the bush, yet our ranges always manage to pick them out at the wonder of many a guest :).
