Chameleons don’t change colour to match their environment – it’s just the opposite. How do they do it? By manipulating tiny crystals in their skin, as we explained here.

KQED, the PBS station in San Francisco, recently produced a segment delving into chameleons color-changing ways for their 4K YouTube series Deep Look. Thanks to Twisted Sifter for pointing it out.
