I was walking through the yard and I spotted something I have never seen before, it was a Jackson's Chameleon eating a large slug! It was one of the grossest things I have seen lately, however I grabbed the iphone and started rolling.

At first I did know what to think, I was not sure if he was trying to eat the slug, or spit it out?
Eventually he got his meal under control.
While I was making this post I decided to do some research on Jackson's Chameleons. I checked out their feeding habits on Wikipedia, and it only mentioned snails, so I did a quick edit and added slug. Both snails and slugs are gastropod mollusks, and the only difference is a slug does not have a shell. I decided to add slug to Wikipedia anyway, we'll see if it sticks!
