Bodyplan As chameleons went from flatfooted ground dwelling lizards to arboreal aces, their bodies have undergone a series of changes that have allowed these animals to better survive in their environments. The body The chameleon bodyplan differs from that of most lacertilians in that it is more laterally flattened. This setup has serves a two fold purpose. First it makes the lizard larger to predators and rivals and second it allows them to better blend in with the surrounding foliage (a laterally flattened chameleon has a better chance of not casting a shadow on its branch than a more dorsoventrally centered lizard. To aid in the area of scare tactics, chameleons also possess an intricate series of lungs. With the exception of varanids, chameleons possess more complex lung structures than other lizards. In some species the lungs extend virtually throughout the body, allowing the chameleon to puff up for defensive and courting displays. Some have smooth, undivided lungs while others possess complex, partitioned ones. When a chameleon feels the need to look large and in charge it can inflate its lungs to increase their size. The degree of inflation depends on the chameleon and the situation. Unlike an anole or iguana, chameleons possess appendages that were made for clamping onto the various twigs and branches in their environment, thus making them better capable of going out on a limb :)

44. Tongue Power had this incredible story of how his chameleon ate all the other lizards in the cage. mechanics in chameleons compared to agamid or iguanid lizards. http://webhost.ua.ac.be/funmorph/anthony/chameleon.html

The evolution of extreme specialisation in chameleon tongues. This all got started back in 1998 when I visited Flagstaff after the Denver SICB meetings. When I got there Jay had this incredible story of how his chameleon ate all the other lizards in the cage. Being my usual sceptic self I had a hard time believing him until Jay got out the chameleon and staged a capture event. Sure enough ... the chameleon shot out its tongue and yanked the poor Anolis lizard of its branch with its tongue. How it was able to do this we didn't know and thus we started a successful collaboration looking at chameleon tongues. All this was expertly supervised by Kiisa. The basis It sucks ! Among lizards, tongue prehension is the predominant prey capture mode for all members of the most primitive lizard clade (iguanids, agamids and chameleons). The mechanism by which the prey adheres to the tongue during capture is considered to be based on adhesive bonding and interlocking. As the strength of the bond is determined by the surface area contacting the prey, the maximal prey size that can be transported is limited. This implies that prey consumed by chameleons should be small. Our personal observations and published records of chameleons capturing large prey such as lizards or birds stimulated us to investigate this further. We filmed chameleons eating a variety of prey by use of high-speed video systems. These films indicated that just before prey contact two tongue lips are created and positioned over the prey. To investigate the shape changes that occur in the tongue during capture, radio-opaque markers were implanted in the tongue of chameleons. Cineradiographic films of capture events indicate that at rest the tongue pad is invaginated to form a so-called pouch or dimple, which is everted upon tongue protraction. At, or just before prey contact, the pad is inverted again, and the pouch lips are placed over the prey.

WONDER QUEST with April Holladay , A Weekly Column * January 23, 2002* Albuquerque The chameleon kaleidoscope evolved Q: Did chameleons always change color or did they develop the ability over time? Francis, Sidney, Canada A: Most chameleon species evolved a basic camouflage coloring and pattern which blends with the land and trees they live in. Variations in the light level, the surrounding temperature, or his emotions can make a chameleon change color. They alter their color like we blush. An angry chameleon darkens with rage. Gail J. Worth] Veiled Chameleon (15 inches) lives in Yemen grasslands "We do know that non-chameleon relatives have the ability to change color," says David B. Wake, professor of integrative biology at the University of California at Berkeley. "Color change in lizards, in general, is associated with temperature." Many lizard species darken to absorb more solar energy and warm up, especially in the morning. Chameleons, however, change colors faster than other lizards and more dramatically, says Bruce C. Jayne, herpetology professor at the University of Cincinnati. The capacity, moreover, is universal among all chameleon species. Thus, this ability probably evolved long ago in the ancestor of all present day chameleon species.

The chameleon changes color when it is frightened and in response to light, temperature, and other environmental changes. The color change is caused by hormones that affect special pigment-bearing cells in the skin. Its color does not always change to match its surroundings, however, as is commonly believed. The chameleon has a remarkably long, sticky tongue, which darts into the air to catch insects. Its body is unusually shaped, and most chameleons are specially adapted to living in trees. The lizard's long, thin legs raise it from the ground, and its toes are divided into opposable sets of two and three digits that enable it to grasp branches rather than cling to them as with claws. The strong, curled tail is also adapted to grasping. Many chameleons have large domed, or casqued, heads, and males may have as many as three horns, sometimes used for combat. One striking three-horned species is Jackson's chameleon of Africa. The chameleon has a short neck that is of limited mobility; however, the eyes are big and can move independently of each other in many directions. The chameleon has no external eardrum, or tympanic membrane. Chameleons range in size from just a few centimeters to as large as 63 cm (25 in).

Chameleons are lizards known for their ability to change colors. But contrary to papular belief, the chameleon does not change its color to match its background. It changes as a result of its mood, the temperature, or light conditions. Most Chameleons have brown or green as their main color, but they can trun to an off-white, yellow, or light green. When they are cold, their color is lighter than when they are warm. Chameleon is the common name for certain lizards that are well known for their ability to change colors.

Contact Us Front Page "Catapults" Give Chameleon Tongues Superspeed, Study Says Bijal P. Trivedi National Geographic Channel May 19, 2004 Chameleons have an uncanny ability to shoot their long sticky tongues out of their mouths at mind-numbing speeds to catch fast-moving prey. But exactly how they propel their tongues with such power has never been convincingly explained. "If you do the calculation, you know that the muscle alone cannot be responsible for this rapid acceleration," said Jurriaan H. de Groot, a biomechanist at Leiden University in the Netherlands. De Groot and project leader Johan L. van Leeuwen, a biologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, looked for a hidden structure in the tongue that could power this extreme athletic performance. They believed that there must be some sort of biological spring or catapult that launches the tongue on its culinary quest. Muscles are limited in their power output. To hit speeds exceeding these limitations, many animals have coupled their muscles with biological "catapults." These catapults store energy and release it when triggered, allowing them to help produce much higher speeds than could be achieved by muscle alone.

58. Reptiles In Mythology/Viewzone In early Christianity, the chameleon was used to symbolize Satan who, In Roman mythology, lizards supposedly sleep through the winter and so symbolize http://www.viewzone.com/israel.html

Reptiles Throughout Mythology by Norman A. Rubin Reptiles vary in size. Some are carnivorous and others are vegetarians. Some are dangerous and others are harmless. Yet the traits of reptiles and their habits have been utilized in the creativity and mythology of humans. "Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble - fillet of fennel, snake, toad, adder's fork, lizard's leg..." As the witches of Macbeth stirred the magical potion in the large kettle, superstitions, symbols and myths on reptiles had already been stirring for ages. The various myths reveal the association of certain sacred reptiles with the supernatural and with so-called magical powers. These themes are encountered among civilizations millennia in the past to our own present culture. Take the snake and serpents, for example: There is no creature more widely found in the mythologies of the world than snakes. Mythical legends frequently occur in lands where there are no snakes - such as with the Eskimos who live in the ice bound Arctic. Saint Patrick may have driven the reptile out of Ireland, but his efforts could not cleanse the country of snake legends. The Bible does not narrate favorably about the reptile; the "Good Book" compared everything evil to the venomous snake.
