Change of color

Some chameleon species are able to change their skin colors. Different chameleon species are able to change different colors which can include pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow and turquoise.[7][8]

Some varieties of chameleon - such as the Smith's dwarf chameleon - use their color-changing ability to blend in with their surroundings, as an effective form of camouflage.[9]

Color change is also used as an expression of the physiological condition of the lizard, and as a social indicator to other chameleons. Some research suggests that social signaling was the primary driving force behind the evolution of color change, and that camouflage evolved as a secondary concern.[10][11]

Chameleons have specialized cells, collectively called chromatophores, that lie in layers under their transparent outer skin. The cells in the upper layer, called xanthophores and erythrophores, contain yellow and red pigments respectively. Below these is another layer of cells called iridophores or guanophores, and they contain the colorless crystalline substance guanine. These are particularly strong reflectors of the blue part of incident light. If the upper layer of itchromatophores appears mainly yellow, the reflected light becomes green (blue plus yellow). A layer of dark melanin contained in melanophores is situated even deeper under the reflective iridophores. The melanophores determine the 'lightness' of the reflected light. These specialized cells are full of pigment granules, which are located in their cytoplasm. Dispersion of the pigment granules in the cell grants the intensity of appropriate color. If the pigment is equally distributed in the cell, the whole cell has the intensive color, which depends on the type of chromatophore cell. If the pigment is located only in the center of the cell, cell appears to be transparent. All these pigment cells can rapidly relocate their pigments, thereby influencing the color of the chameleon.

Very valid points as to why they may want to keep the electronics off the gun itself. But both the weather device and the targeting computer are run by the second man.>> ^Drax:

I'm sorry, you have a weather device, the output of which you manually input into the targeting device? This is evidence of the wastefulness of the military industrial complex. Take the weather device, stick it on the targeting device. There, I just saved you 2 very important minutes.

At a guess part of the reason for this is the gun's recoil could damage the sensitive equipment, plus the gun could at times be camouflaged under some form of light cover and not in a good position (to low) to take an accurate wind reading.

i liked "the camouflage"

Why would anyone of that size living in a green and brown forest habitat evolve to be blue????

Duh! So they can attract James Cameron to film them...


Many humans are white/orange despite living in green and brown terrain, so camouflage isn't always the most important factor.

If blue pigmentation was associated with greater fitness in some way (e.g. health or dominance) due to some kind of chemical factors, sexual selection alone could create it.

Overall, though, such strong pigmentation has a calorie cost, so it would tend to be lost unless a significant selective pressure was maintained. However, they show a blue monster also, so maybe there's some factor in the environment that causes it more directly.

U just watch some Twatty fashion designer have some anorexic girl walk along with this on.

I could engine this working well as active camouflage

yah its strange , in Jamaica its illegal to ware camouflage as a civilian. its strange they way that things can lose there functoin or intended meaning when used for fasoin.

people in camouflage often fail background checks , because they blend in so well . DUM DUM DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I never understood wearing camouflage in an urban environment. It sort of makes you more conspicuous, which seems counter productive.

Doesn't seem to be a fake.

Officials with G20 security released the following statement to Raw Story and other media outlets:

“Military members supporting the G20 Summit work with local law enforcement authorities but do not have the authority to make arrests. The individuals involved in the 9/24/09 arrest which has appeared online are law enforcement officers from a multi-agency tactical response team assigned to the security operations for the G20. It is not unusual for tactical team members to wear camouflaged fatigues. The type of fatigues the officers wear designates their unit affiliation.

Prior to the arrest, the officers observed this subject vandalizing a local business. Due to the hostile nature of the crowd, officer safety and the safety of the person under arrest, the subject was immediately removed from the area.”

Ah, Justice Scalia. He should go hunt pheasant with Cheney some more.

And dress in as much camouflage as possible.

I don't know. In one episode they were flying around in the voot and it was camouflaged to look like a flying pig.

It's just a cartoon man.
