Chameleons are masters of camouflage, and their ability to change color quickly is a mesmerizing adaptation. It's all about survival and communication in their natural habitat. The intricate science behind this phenomenon continues to captivate researchers and enthusiasts alike. Nature's wonders never cease to amaze! 🦎🌿🌍

I don't think this description explains how chameleons change the color of their skin very well. It's not just "pouches in their skin" or whatever you said. There are 5 layers of skin, the top layer being transparent, and the next containing yellow skin cells, then red, then blue and then purple. The cells have vesicles that are filled with the color, and when hormones or nerves trigger them the vesicles release their color.

They have cristals in their skin wich they can move to reflech different wavelenghts of light they dont have pigments

I've been wondering about this question for 12 years STRAIGHT😶

[jessicamorgen]

Why does their skin look like corn on the cob?

[muthubalan]

It was proved wrond later....there are guanine crystals underneath called depending on distance between these crystal light with different wavelengths reflected

Please read this paper from Nature Communication. Photonic crystals cause active colour
change in chameleons.

There is no true it is because of the Christel density in side the cell which reflects, when chenging the wave length of the sun light in to deferent colours the cell can change the density of christel

Like if your wondering why you are whatching?

What would happen if it got cut would the pigment go everywhere

[marwinjacinto]
