The
chameleon is certainly the first animal that comes to
the mind when camouflage is raised. The chameleon changes
its colour according to the ground on which it stands.
To the left can be seen the mark made on the coat of the
chameleon by the fern left on its back. Light and temperature
changes are considered to have a role in the reactions
that cause this mark. Yet, the animal is not even aware
of its advantageous skill in changing colours. Its body
is originally created to automatically match the colours
of its surroundings.
