chameleon camouflage
Chameleons are born with cells call pigment this cells lie in layers under the chameleon's skin. The top layers of chromatophores have red or yellow pigment. The lower layers have blue or white pigment. When these pigment cells get bigger, the chameleon's skin color changes. Chromatophores change because the cells get a message from the brain to enlarge or to shrink. These actions cause cell pigments to mix, similar to paint, creating other colors like green or purple.
