Galad...Glad you liked the information. I want to take more courses in biology...but I'm not studying science at university...I just have a great interest in anything that has to do with chameleons.

One more thing...re: cat vision...I thought it was rods that enable
creatures to see at night?

Here's an article that talks about chameleon vision and cats too..but not what you would expect...

Hears anothe site that you might find interesting...but not to do with sight....but rather sound/vibration...

Hope you enjoy it too!

lol, ya my bad I totally forgot about the rods. They are positioned in front of the cones. Is that not correct?
So wouldit be the cones then that determined which colours the animals can or cannot see?

Yea thats a cool site. Chris Anderson and kenneth Barnett also did a similar study not to long ago about infrasound in true chameleon species.
Very informative
