PiTrinam discovered 11 months ago- from the page: "Given the role colour plays in all of our lives, in a setting where survival take priority, it's often that colour comes to aid. For most animals, having colours that match their surroundings is enough. An animal in the ocean would match the ocean floor from above, and the sky from below. An animal in the jungle would match the area in which it lives, whether that is the canopy or the ground. Made famous for their colour-changing adaptation, chameleons, with their strange eyes and tongues, have recesses of pigment in their skin that allow for change nearly at will. From blue to yellow, and the combination of, the chameleon is the esteemed master of disguise in the animal kingdom. But just as Bioluminescence, this camouflage has other suggested purposes. Chameleons are said to change colour with mood or psycholgical states. The colour change also plays a major role in communication, considering the chameleon has no outer or middle ear, like snakes, which can feel vibrations in the ground or in branches."
