The Amazing Scene Chameleon Catches Dragonfly In Sneaky Ways
LICKING POWER: CHAMELEON UNLEASHES HUGE TONGUE TO CATCH A DRAGONFLY
A hungry panther chameleon snacks on a dragonfly after plucking it from the sky with its enormous tongue
Easy lickings: The colourful lizard catches its prey
Photographer Ais Setiawan, who snapped the images, said: "I was playing with my panther chameleon. Suddenly a dragonfly came over the trees adjacent to it
Then suddenly the panther chameleon issued its long tongue to eat the dragonfly."
A chameleon's long and sticky tongue is the perfect tool to catch an unsuspecting dragonfly.
The veiled chameleon easily makes up the distance between him and his prey by holding onto a drying branch with his back feet and using his long tongue.
The reptile, which is only around 15cm, has a tongue that stretches to around 25cm.
Despite the insect trying to fly away, the chameleon was able to snatch it up and very quickly ate it.
The chameleon's unusual hunting method was seen in Jakarta, Indonesia
