I wish you would have explained why they walk that way (to let people know). It is to blend in with the surroundings, as though it is a leaf or twig blowing in the wind--isn't that right? Thank you. 😉
"what is it, the chameleon?, mmm, that word really looked like it was more fun to say." yeah, I too wished to pronounce it as Shawmahlawlilsadhdfje- ah dang it ;-; btw, nice Team Desu Profile pic "How do you know who I am? ;-;"
My class wrote essays one time in 3rd grade about our favorite animals and I chose the chameleon. When I wrote about why it changed its color, I put down things about mood and the temperature. Another kid saw this, and reported my “wrong detail” to the teacher. She sided with the other kid and told me to change that detail to camouflage stuff instead. When I found a book that had proof of why they change color, she told me the book was wrong, and called the principal to punish me and my little 3rd grade self was triggered and hated that teacher and kid for the rest of that school year
Reminds me of when I was in 4th or 5th grade, and my English teacher claimed that the word "siblings" is almost never used, and that everyone says "brothers and sisters" instead, regardless of context. That was frustrating. (Side-note: I live in Sweden, so the class was 2nd-language English.)
I love this. He sounds so professional, like he could actually do voice overs for animal documentaries, which makes it all the more funny when he says this kinda stuff!
To understand how their camouflage works, imagine if your skin could turn red if you got angry. Wait, you're telling me that already happens? Then that is how a Human do.
I lost my shit at "... The chameleon uses both of its eyes to lock onto it's prey... if you were Jiminy Cricket, you'd shit your pants... right. About. Now." XD im still laughing!!!
They do that to mimic a leaf blowing in the wind. It also confuses the $h*t out of their prey when there's no leaves ...or wind. They're expecting a strike, but when it fails to strike over and over, they get complacent ...then they get eaten! Mine didn't bother most of the time. As soon as I put the crickets in, they darted to the base of their branch and snatched them, almost before they hit the floor of the terrarium!
Since the color change happens due to mood, it is basically what chameleons have instead of eyebrows or lips, using them to tell their room mate that they should stop leaving their towels lying round.
"Uhm...what are you doing?, right now? This is kind of awkward...Do you want me to....shake your hand? e- Ok" "Do I feel like walking? Hmm.. ye-no? Maybe-Well? Yes-no-*yes*" "Look, i'm a little chicken" You nailed it little guy, You nailed it.....
First discovered your work recently through your "true facts" series and wanted to say THANKS!! Thanks for bringing us so much joy, knowledge and fun !!
I love love love this channel. So great...Another really cool thing about Chameleons is that, independent of the Praying Mantis, they both evolved that back and forth motion while sitting on a branch. I believe it's to blend in with breeze blown foliage and hide from their prey, largely insects, which is the same for both creatures.
You're forgetting Morgan Freeman narrated his post, as he does for billions of others every day. Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman. -*Morgan Freeman*
"Perhaps the greatest deception the spy lizard, Chameleon has ever achieved, is deceiving humans into thinking that they change colours in order to blend in with their surroundings." True that, true that. XD
A new study has disproved the chromataphore theory. Chameleons actually have microscopic crystals in their cells, and changing how these crystals refract light changes color. Check Veritasium's channel to see it.
+KiboraMalenceo Pretty sure its both actually. Chromataphores are responsible for some color changes, but the crystals are responsible for others (such as colors requiring pigments the chameleon's chromatophores do not possess).

But wait! How does a chameleon do? You never told us!
ZachValkyrie I guess the chemeleon doesn't do
Imagine trying to eat a sandwich by firing off your tongue like a slingshot.
That is how a Chameleon do.
To understand how their camouflage works, imagine if your skin could turn red if you got angry.

Then that is how a Human do.
They do like James Bond do.

I too just watched the video.
Look, I'm a little chicken.

“Remember if someone says ‘you disguise yourself like a chameleon’, just say, ‘your mom’. That usually shuts them up.”

I lost my shit at "... The chameleon uses both of its eyes to lock onto it's prey... if you were Jiminy Cricket, you'd shit your pants... right. About. Now." XD im still laughing!!!
That clip at the end where he says do I feel like walking is soo true my chameleon can't ever decide where he wants to go. 😂
They do that to mimic a leaf blowing in the wind. It also confuses the $h*t out of their prey when there's no leaves ...or wind. They're expecting a strike, but when it fails to strike over and over, they get complacent ...then they get eaten!

Every episode I have seen causes me to burst out in laughter. 🤣
Am I the only one enjoying these videos way too much?
"cool little alien karate chop hands"
and that, my friends, is why i binged this whole channel in one afternoon
I love the part were he says "look imma little chicken" XD
I love love love this channel. So great...Another really cool thing about Chameleons is that, independent of the Praying Mantis, they both evolved that back and forth motion while sitting on a branch. I believe it's to blend in with breeze blown foliage and hide from their prey, largely insects, which is the same for both creatures.
Cool! I didn't even think about why they do that. You learn something new every day!
Gene Burnett if you do the same motion to lizards you can catch them
jose perez Very cool. I hope I can try it sometime. ;~) GB
PLEASE do a full length nature documentary narration!!! omg there have to be some on public domain you can use. these are so hilarious.
"Look I'm a little chicken" I will say that and nobody understands.
You have to say it like Morgan Freeman.
1:25 Cool little alien karate chop hands.
Chameleon: Hiya wacha come get some!
..."Cool little alien karate chop hands."
Couldn't have said it better myself. xD
You've successfully found a balance between hilarious and factually fascinating. Thank you sir.
“ A SAD CLOWN CONVECTION ”...😂😂 I can’t....
Replayed the first 3 seconds about 50 times. I'm so glad a Reddit post led me to this channel.
The damn movement the eye makes when the chameleon blinks is terrifying!!
"Cool little alien karate chop hands" is the line that always gets me.
As a chameleon, I can confirm that this video is accurate.
The shamalameleon has spoken!
But do you feel like walking?
My friend showed this to me on his dad’s computer in 5th grade. So glad I found it.

"because if they committed to it anymore, they would explode"
And
"it's like a ballet really, dainty"

"Color changy shifty things.".. I love Ze's techie talk soo much...
0:10 never heard a more perfect way to describe the chameleon
There is a chameleon that uses it's color changing ability to hide, we just have not found it yet.
0:33 When you are at a group picture with 10 cameras and dont know where to look
Lol, that's a wise way to put it so all the jokes connect. "Oohh...red rocket, blur it."
3:15 that now cracked me up sir. zefrank1 best thing youve ever done :D
"If you were Jimetty Cricket you would shit your pants right... About... NAW" xD
I laugh my ass off every time I watch these videos. E.v.e.r.y. T.i.m.e. Lmfao
Brilliant! Keep em short and sweet with all the sarcasm! Love it! Keep the "Morgan" accent...
2:02 My favorite part of this video, really. The myth of chameleon camouflage...
Oops red rocket let's blur it out I died.
its like me when i have to leave the house for work "do i feel like walking? no... yes?... no."
i remember watching these videos as a kid. i'm so happy i found your chanel again.
