From National Geographic

“If a chameleon tongue was a car, it could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1/100th of a second—among nature's fastest, strongest performances”

I used to own these, soo soo cool

Super cool, I love hearing facts like this. Trap jaw ants also possess one of the most fastest mechanical features of any animals to! There jaws can move between 115 to around 210 fps or I believe roughly 80 to 150mph!

Settled on species?

With absolute certainty??? That’s impossible there are far too many to decide on just one at any time

Those things unnerve me. Something about the way they walk; all slow and deliberate, like they are plotting my downfall with each false step. The fear is only exacerbated by those damnable binocular looking eyes that appear as though they peer straight through me into my soul.
