Remember your Creator in the days of your youth!

Hi ,

Besides their ability to change color, chameleons have other amazing capabilities. Here are a few of them:

1. Notice their feet. They are unique in the reptile world in that their feet spread, like a parrot. This gives the animal a vise-like grip which greatly helps it to grab things.

2. Chameleons are slow. But that's OK, because their color helps to conceal them, which is really their only defense. Chameleons are "friendly" therefore. You can catch a wild one, and it will sit on your hand as though it's tame!

3. Look at its eyes! They operate independently from each other. This way, the chameleon can sit absolutely still on a branch while completely aware of everything around it!

4. Another fascinating aspect is the tongue. It can be propelled rapidly up to two times the length of the body. The end has a suction cup-like feel to it, and prey is quickly and easily caught in it.

5. At the other end, the tail is also unusual compared to other reptiles in that it's prehensile, which means that it can be used to grip, like another hand or foot. When not in use, it can roll up out of the way.

6. When chameleons walk, they often use a swaying gait - a back-and-forth movement that some think is used to imitate leaves blowing in the wind, helping it to be camouflaged even more.

Like all creatures, they display astounding evidence of design. What an amazing Designer we serve!

In Christ,
