For this occasion, I want to share on our small dinosaur as the "chameleon" scientific Chamaeleonidae/Nombre; our reptile, only it feeds, of insects, using his language as a harpoon, for his surprising and independent eyes, but more fascinate you, it is like this alive being, for his physiognomy it changes color.
This is due to the fact that inside, the physiognomy of the skin, cells exist; cromatóforas and inside this one there is a few nanoglazing of an organic way, with other revetimientos, that also is a part, cromatóforos, eritróforos, guanóforos, iridóforos, leucóforos, melanóforos and xantóforos. Thanks to them, this alive being has the skill of changing color of pigmentation.
This reaction happens, thanks to the nanoglazing; that are present in a superficial layer of dermal cells, that his activation, that reflect the light of his environment, activating at cellular level of cromatóforos the adaptation of his pigments to this reflex of light.
Nanoglazing, they are compact structures that are alike spheres as much as it is possible and is allowed by the crystalline order. Chameleon changes very rapid color, because they can be chemically highly active and unstable.
Thinking frogs that apart from the chameleon they exist, other alive beings, that possesses this corporal physiognomy an example of her is the cuttlefish, fish, it is the whole innovation in the scientific world at evolutionary level. Grace to application of the method of the microscopy, the photometric videografía and the simulation for computer by means of glazing fotónicos, was achieved, to affirm I contributed them of the cells cromatóforas.
It is one of the animals that defies the laws of the physics, because across a physical phenomenon of optical interference, stimulated by the light.

The stimuli more frequent, that experiences this animal, to change his color, is when, it is under situation of stress, also how he gets excited.
The contribution of animal this one, for science, thanks to his skill of changing color, served for the application of the use of, microbiology, physiology, parasitología, effects of radiation, ultrastructure, virology, secretion, pathology, radiography, cintigrafía, transplant, ultrasonography; in other body cellular and alive beings.

The chameleons beyond his camouflage; the change of color serves them to communicate between them in a fight or during the reproduction and it is a response to stressful situations.

It is much fascinate you, which shows us the whole natural ecosystem and in such a way that it interacts the alive beings, I hope that it should serve as his taste and educational it should be contained, for to share it with you, on behalf of @iguana78
