Chamaeleo chamaeleon
juvenile chameleon in the defensive position. The color is indicative of extreme stress. S/he turned green once introduced to the safety of the tree where s/he now happily resides :)

Thanks all!
Loooove chameleons, that black color can only mean 2 things, he is pissed off/ stressed or stood under the sun for too long :) Cool pic
yes he is not impressed! :) How is your chameleon fairing in captivity? Do you have trouble feeding him?
He looks very angry!!! Exactly like the one in my terrarium :-)
Nice shot
Awesome shot!
Thanks HemantKumar and SatyenMehta!
hahaha. Thanks! Well, it is not easy to get a shot of the green. unless you want me to take photos of the leaves of the tree where s/he is hiding. I have twisted my neck looking for it :)))) I will keep trying to get it to pose :)
Great shot - green picture please!
Wow, amazing pic.
