The Chameleon’s Split Vision

Chameleons are famous for color-changing, but their real sneaky power lies in their eyes. Each eye can move independently, giving them a full 360-degree view without moving their heads. This allows them to scout for predators and prey at the same time, staying completely still and stealthy.

Once prey is spotted, both eyes lock in and the tongue launches like a guided missile. Their ability to observe without revealing themselves is what makes chameleons such effective ambush hunters. It’s like nature installed a periscope in their face.
