A chameleon sits on a branch, taken in Madagascar, Africa, November 2016. A little chameleon appears very pleased with itself, as it manages to catch its lunch in a split second. Known for their unique characteristics, a chameleon can reach its prey within 0.07 seconds by projecting their tongue more than twice their body length. The sticky tip of the tongue then attaches to the doomed insect, and recoils back into the chameleon’s hungry mouth. This smug chameleon was caught on camera by wildlife photographer Yulia Sundukova in November 2016. (Photo by Yulia Sundukova/Barcroft Images)
