The Olafimilleon. Our species is a distant relative of a chameleon. Our species evolved from a chameleon. After most of mankind had gone into an all out nuclear war against one another and half of them died, almost all natural life, such as trees and grass, was destroyed. For this reason, many bugs that were prey to the chameleon, had nowhere to hide from it. So, taking advantage of this, the chameleon had an abundance of food for its lifetime and for its children’s lifetime. However, the bugs had gotten a sense of “urgency” and “danger” as they noticed their kind was becoming extinct. They had created homes on whatever forms of plant life were out of reach for the chameleon. Now because of this, the chameleon was smart enough to walk on its hind legs in order to reach one of its most abundant food sources.

 Etymology (Origin of species) and Definition 

The background behind “Olafimilleon,” is that “Olaf” means “king” which further shows its dominance over all other types chameleons. Olaf is a derivative word from Norway relating to king or one of high power or dominance.

 History and Evolution 

Environmental trends that lead to their survival

The abundance of food due to the extinction of most of plant life and people caused the Olafimilleon to have an advantage over the other types of “chameleons.”

Current ecosystem

Widely found in the Sahara Desert in Africa

Characteristics, attributes, and adaptations

Their scaly skin has the same characteristics as regular chameleons, however, it mainly changes its color to hunt in the desert and not the jungle as it once did. Due to losing almost all trees in its former environment, it adapted to only have to drink a cup of water every 3-5 weeks. It can float on the water and he goes can hold his breath for about 2 hours underwater. Also, as a defense and hunting mechanism, it can squirt out its own urine up to 20 feet to blind its target (his urine is deadly)!He does this because it gives him enough time for it to dash away at its top speed which can reach 21 miles per hour.

 Habitat and Population 

Familiar structure

The Olafimilleon stays in a pack only during the first two week after birth. Their parents teach the to survive alone. After that they go off alone. They hunt alone and sleep in trees or they make a hole in the sand so they aren’t found by predators.

Location in the food web

The Olafimilleon prey: Spiders, Rats, Plants, Insects, Worms Slugs and Snails.

The Olafimilleon predators: Eagles, Hawks, Snakes, and Larger Fishes.

 Impact on Earth 

It kept a species alive since most animals died from the nuclear blast. It also kept bugs from overpopulating the Earth.
