Decided to try and get a shot with the chameleon catching a cricket released by the zoo keeper. Soon came to realize 1. chameleon is faster than me, 2. Chameleon is faster than the flash, 3. Chameleon is faster than the cricket!

Prehistorically wonderful here John,
This would make a great 'B' Movie poster from the Saturday Matinee 'Good Ole Days'.
Congratulations on the WP . . .
