Walk like a Chameleon!

Have you ever gone exploring in your back yard? Sometimes here in Tanzania we find some crazy-cool creatures right around us, even on the back fence!

"Look mom, no hands!"

Chameleons are especially COOL because:

• Their eyes can look in different directions at the same time.
• Their skin color and markings change - not to match what's around them, like people think, but according to their mood!
• God gave them really special feet and tails that help them hold onto trees as they climb.
• They shed their skin when they get too big for it.

This is a baby chameleon we found at school last year -
check out his feet and how he sheds his skin!

Check them out in a couple of videos! (commentary courtesy of some of my teammates and students)





Oh, and one last amazing fact: Chameleons have the coolest, funniest walk! Check it out in this video from my friends the Gerths.
