If you like this website or webpage, please link it. I could use the help. Thanks. The Veiled Chameleon March 2005 : Network Camera Advice March 28, 2005 Network Camera Advice I am looking for a new camera for the veiled chameleon webcam page. My intention is to place a webcam inside the chameleon's enclosure and then give it access to the Internet. The attributes for the camera which I seek, roughly in order of importance, are as follows: 1) Pan, tilt, and zoom. I don't want the camera to just be sitting there staring in one spot hoping that the chameleon will be in sight. 2) Optical zoom. A real zoom is important, not merely blowing up of a static photo which becomes more and more pixelated as the zoom increases. 3) Auto focus (with a variable focus lens). Focusing and re-focusing a camera can be one of the most frustrating aspects of using a camera, and auto-focus tends to work remarkably well. 4) Motion detection/tracking. If the lizard moves, I want the camera to follow it. When people log onto the webcam page to see the lizard, I'm pretty much hoping that the lizard will be in the picture for them to see. 5) Internet controllable.

Jackson's Chameleon ( Chamaeleo jacksonii TAXONOMY Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Family: Chamaeleonidae Genus: Chamaeleo Species: jacksonii Subspecies: jacksonii (Boulenger, 1896) Subspecies: merumontana (Rand, 1958) Subspecies: xantholophus (Eason, Ferguson and Hebrand, 1988) *Commonly known as Jackson's Chameleon (http://www.bishop.hawaii.org) INTRODUCTION Chameleons are highly specialized, arboreal, insectivorous lizards. As a group, they are particularly fascinating due to three adaptations. They are capable of changing colors, hues and patterns very quickly. They posses remarkable tongues that are shot out at high speeds, for long distances, and with great accuracy to capture prey. And their eyes can move independently from one another. In addition to the above mentioned characteristics, the male Jackson's Chameleon ( Chamaeleo jacksonii ) sport three horns. Due to its unique nature, it has become a common target (along with other chameleons and exotic lizards) for the pet industry. This is unfortunate because chameleons are extremely difficult to keep alive for any length of time in captivity. Status in Hawaii In 1972, Robin Ventura was given a Hawaii State Department of Agriculture permit to import Jackson's Chameleons to be sold in his Kaneohe pet shop. Several dozen chameleons arrived thin and dehydrated, so he released them into his Kaneohe Bay Drive backyard, incorrectly anticipating that they could be retrieved later. The chameleons increased in number and by the late 1970s had spread to the base of the Koolau Mountains. Kenya, the country from which they originated, stopped the exportation of this species in 1981. This means that virtually every Jackson's Chameleon of this subspecies (

85. Chameleons Certainly, as lizards go, they are highly unusual creatures, has led to another variety of lizards in America being incorrectly labeled Chameleons, http://www.auroville.org/environment/web_of_life/chameleons.htm

Home The web of life Timtopix - inTamil: Pachonthi The chameleon, though not a fool, Is subject to great ridicule. He changes hue with ease, at will; His tongue it makes me rather ill. He curls it to a prehensile tool As he eyes the smallest molecule. Ah! Nature's ways are often cruel, So says the passing vermicule... If only he would use his skill And think pure thoughts while sitting still. Navoditte (AV) Highly unusual Someone could be excused for thinking that when God designed Chameleons he was in a very creative and imaginative mood, or that he assembled them from spare parts that didn't fit easily into the rest of his creation. Certainly, as lizards go, they are highly unusual creatures, both in appearance and behaviour. Their presence in Auroville, although not often noticed, is widely appreciated and admired. Whenever one is seen, crossing a road or climbing a tree in its t'ai chi sing-song sort of way, people and children stop and notice, for a few moments breathing in the ways of this ancient creature. Moody colours It is a popular misconception that Chameleons simply change colour to suit their background. There is evidence they can do so in a limited way, but most colour changes are triggered by stimuli such as light, temperature and emotion. Their normal colour is grey?green, but in total darkness this fades to a creamy colour with irregular yellow spots. In hot direct sunlight some darken to a dark grey/dull black, but our local species tend to lighten in colour. Excitement and fright produce pale shades with brown patches and yellow spots. Anger commonly causes darkening, as one might expect, since it's associated with 'getting heated'! The change in colour can be achieved very rapidly, even within seconds, at most within a few minutes.

Some serious fun could be had in the classroom with 360 vision, a tongue double the length of one's body, and the mood-induced ability to change colour and virtually "disappear". Auckland Zoo is hoping these amazing chameleon characteristics will help spark the curiosity and creativity of school students throughout New Zealand, and encourage them to enter its 'Chameleons are Cool' banner competition. Open to students from new entrant through to secondary school level, the 2005 Auckland Zoo Banner Competition challenges students to investigate this truly amazing, slightly bizarre animal, and then use their creativity to design a banner based on their learnings. "Along with getting students interested in the environment, this is an opportunity to encourage students to reach for excellence," says Auckland Zoo education service manager, Leigh Wither. "The main winner and runners-up will not only receive monetary prizes, but also the mana of having their design turned into banners to be displayed throughout the zoo over summer, our busiest time of year," says Leigh Wither.

Reptiles Reptiles Chameleon Chameleons are generally very difficult to spot being masters of camouflage. However the individual we photographed was clearly visible, being bright yellow and green against a dusty pink road surface. Even when it went into its distinctive jerky walk, designed to mimic the movement of a branch or twig in the breeze, it still looked like a lizard crossing the road ..... but very slowly. This particular chameleon is a "Smooth Chameleon", Chamaeleo laevigatus , which gets its name from the lack of horns, ear flaps and nose lumps which are features of many other chameleons. They grow to an average size of 15-22 cm and have a maximum size of about 25 cm. Grasshoppers form a significant part of their diet. They are mostly arboreal but are quite happy to descend to ground level to cross roads and treeless patches of ground in order to reach a suitable area. Monitor Lizard Leopard Tortoise Although it is quite common to see turtles and terrapins basking in the sun close to water it is less often that you get to see the Leopard Tortoise, Geochelone pardalis . They tend to be shy and stick to the undergrowth, however we have been successful in seeing them along some of the quieter, less well-travelled roads in Tsavo West National Park. Their diet is amost exclusively vegetarian but they have been seen to chew bones and hyena faeces for the calcium content. When they are first hatched they are extremely vulnerable to a very wide range of predators (even lions are known to eat young Leopard Tortoises) but once they reach about 20cm in size they are safe from all predators except for man.

sections columns Hand-painted tile by Dy Witt Our house used to be filled with cats: a huge marbled orange cat with fullback shoulders, a goofy gray with subtle calico patches, a smudge-nosed black and white tabby with a penchant for guacamole, their unflappable tortoise-shell mother, and their petite, half-Siamese ball-of-fire stepsister. They provided more entertainment and more laughter than any number of television programs or books could have, with their constant mischief and sometimes bizarre habits. They're all gone now. The tabby that died in August was the last to leave us. It is lonely around here without them. And quiet. There is also the matter of the bun what we called our resident wild rabbit that lived in our yard for over a year and ate carrots, corn and seeds from a cherub bird feeder. He (or she we never figured out which it was) is gone, too. We don't know if he died or just moved on to a better home. It isn't as if we are alone, though. Dozens of squirrels scuttle across our roof, chase each other around the pine trees, and make clumsy leaps from the gutters to the bird feeders. There are a couple of dozen species of birds that have lived here at one time or another, and our most recent inhabitants are a broad-winged hawk and a Little Blue heron. Any day now, the goldfinches will arrive. A deer comes through late at night, an occasional opossum drops by, and sometimes around midnight I see a raccoon's mask pressed up against the French doors of our bedroom.

96. How & Why Chameleons Change Color | Lizards | Changing Mood Chameleons aren t magical creatures because they can change colors to blend into their surroundings. Here s the scoop on how and why chameleons can go from http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p1740.htm

quick advanced Scroll down for the article Chameleon Colors of a Chameleon Chameleons are slow moving lizards that are well known for having the ability to change colors. Most people think chameleons change colors to match their environment but that's just something parents tell you cuz they don't know the truth. Why Chameleons Change Color There are lots of reasons chameleons change colors. They can't turn polka-dotted, bright orange or even plaid, to fit into their surroundings. Light, temperature, mood and health are all reasons these lizards change colors. Lights reflect off of them, changing their color. A chameleon will also make itself flat and dark so it can absorb more heat. During the mating process, when it feels threatened and when it's protecting its territory, a chameleon will also change colors. A sick chameleon will stay pale because they don't have the energy to change color. How Chameleon Chameleons Change Color Most chameleons change between green, brown and gray - their surroundings are usually the same colors. Each chameleon species has its own color range. They can't just turn any color. Chameleons can change their color because of a very complex cell system. Beneath it's transparent skin are several cell layers which contain pigments. We also have pigments which cause our skin to darken in the sun . By opening and closing cells called melanophores, chameleons change their skin color. The cells direct sun to specific pigments which reflects the light back in different colors.

Lizards form the suborder Sauria, and there are over 3,000 lizard species distributed throughout the world (except for the polar regions), with the greatest number found in warm climates. They range in size from species under 2 in. (6.4 cm) long to the 10-ft (3-m) Komodo dragon (see monitor ) of SE Asia. Lizards typically have four legs with five toes on each foot, although a few, such as the worm lizard and the so-called glass snake , are limbless, retaining only internal vestiges of legs. Lizards are also distinguished from snakes by having ear openings, movable eyelids, and less flexible jaws. As in snakes, there is a chemosensory organ opening in the roof of the mouth. The tongue, which may be short and wide, slender and forked, or highly extendible, conveys particles from the environment to this organ. The skin of the lizard is scaly and in most species is molted in irregular patches. Members of several lizard families, notably the

What Kind of Lizard Is That? Q: When visiting relatives in Florida, we found several small lizards that live in their backyard. These lizards changed color to match the environment. I kept calling them chameleons because of this fact, but the relatives called them door lizards. What were they? George A: Ah, the great lizard question. Well, George, I have never heard of door lizards, but the term may be a regionalized common name for one of the lizards found in Florida. According to my field guides, there are several species that have the ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings, which some animals can do to make themselves less noticeable to predators. When it comes to lizards in Florida, it's mainly anoles and geckos which are mostly not native to Florida that have this ability. True chameleons aren't found in Florida, according my field guides, unless they are escaped pets. Do you have a question? Contact the editor Wildlife and Birds Will alligators attack?
