Chameleon Life Cycle and Behavior

The video explores the life cycle of flat neck chameleons in Africa. It begins with the mother chameleon preparing a burrow and laying eggs, which she then leaves to incubate for a year. The eggs hatch, and the young chameleons emerge, displaying their ability to change color in response to environmental factors. They wait for rain to soften the soil and increase insect availability before venturing out to feed. The video highlights the chameleons' instinctual skills, such as using their tongues to catch prey, without any parental guidance.
