Pics of chameleon changing

It started green and went to brown within a couple seconds. I've never seen one change before-crazy stuff. They must think they are invisible after the change...he stayed on that leaf for a long time.

These are great. I love the DOF.

Not to be that person, but that isn't a chameleon. From Wikipedia:

Polychrotidae is a family of lizards commonly known as Anoles. Some authorities (such as NCBI [1]) place the anoles in subfamily Polychrotinae of the family Iguanidae. Four genera are common: Anolis, Norops, Phenacosaurus and Polychrus. They are frequently and incorrectly called chameleons or geckos, although they are not biologically classified within or closely related to either of these groups. In fact, they are more closely related to iguanas. These misconceptions are likely due to their ability to alter their skin color and run up walls, respectively.

This is a Chameleon. The more you know...
