Green crested chameleon

In a quiet and serene corner of the forest, the morning dew still clung shyly to the dense foliage. I found a green crested chameleon sitting sweetly on a leaf of a plant. It stared at me, motionless. I did the same, not moving closer. I photographed it from a short distance.

Its slender, green body blended perfectly with its surroundings, almost invisible. Its body was bright green, and its tail was a brownish-white, resembling a dry twig. Its round, clear eyes were also beautiful, their shiny black eyeballs were adorned with light brown circles. They were as beautiful as a green painting specially designed by the morning light.

Not only that, but look at its incredibly flexible fingers. I had never before realized that chameleons' fingers were that flexible. Their small, flexible fingers gripped the leaf where it had perched. Another thing that caught my attention was its unique ear holes, which looked like they were using a handset.

The surrounding green foliage provides both a beautiful backdrop and a stage for protection. The leaves provide the perfect camouflage for the chameleon from any predators that lurk. He's not just a resident, he's part of the story of the place where he lives, the lush green undergrowth.

It would have changed its colour if it sensed danger. You captured it well

Yes, you're right. He's a perfect camouflaged animal. Thanks for stopping by.
