This is so "NEAT"!

Wikipedia says: The family Chamaeleonidae are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of lizards. They are distinguished by their parrot-like zygodactylous feet, their separately mobile and stereoscopic eyes, their very long, highly modified, and rapidly extrudable tongues, their swaying gait, and the possession by many of a prehensile tail, crests or horns on their distinctively shaped heads, and the ability of some to change color. Uniquely adapted for climbing and visual hunting, the approximately 160 species of chameleon range from Africa, Madagascar, Spain, and Portugal, across south Asia, to Sri Lanka, have been introduced to Hawaii and California, and are found in warm habitats that vary from rain forest to desert conditions. This species of sauria was first discovered by Harry H. Lethlean.

What a cool video!! My sister had a chameleon when I was little but I don't remember it changing to such cool colors. It would mostly be brown or green.

Wow- that's awesome! I could be entertained for hours with a pet like that!

I am very competitive and hate doing things I am bad at so I can understand your feelings toward frisbee golf. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to get much better with practice. Oh well, at least it's fun to hang out with friends while I'm sucking.

OK so I don't have sound on this computer so I just have to imagine if there is...

IS that real or is someone just ridiculously good at making movies! I've watched it twice! Um-awesome... I'd hand it a piece of camo or something and be like "here ya go, buddy!"
