Chameleon

Taxidermied chameleon (*Chameleo* sp.) This master of camouflage is known for its ability to change color in order to reflect its mood and deter predators by using special pigment-holding organelles in their skin cells. They are not very social animals and are very aggressive in the wild, warning potential predators by flashing bright, vivid colors onto their skin. They are adept hunters, capturing prey easily with their long tongues that can shoot up to twice their body length way with extreme speed.
