Chameleon: Alchemist of Life



Contrary to popular belief, Chameleon does not change his colors to blend in where He is. Instead, Chameleon is an modern artist who uses color to express his moods, wants, and desires. Angry reds and yellows warn others. Flashy colors tells the ladies, He is available. Meanwhile, on a bright sunny day, Chameleon becomes lighter to cool off. When the day turns cold, he becomes black to absorb the light for warmth.

Chameleon is remarkable for other things as well. Hunting for the elusive fly, He moves his stereoscopic eyes in opposite directions at once. Still and unmoving, suddenly He whips out his spring-loaded tongue. Zap! Fly is eaten! Firmly attached to his branch by his strong claws, Chameleon patiently waits for an opportunity to arise. Quickly, He seizes it in a blink of an eye.

Chameleon is an alchemist mixing color, quickness, and stodginess into an intriguing whole. Subtle or flashy his colors keep Him warm or cool. Quietly, he suddenly seizes an errant fly. Chameleon uses his considerable gifts for a good life. Look beyond blending in to standing out counsels Chameleon.
