Chameleon in the Urban Jungle

PRESENT: In the rainforest, the chameleon blends with the trees and plants using specialized skin cells. Its long, tail grips branches for navigation. Independent rotating eyes scan for prey and predators. Sticky tongue catches insects; spiky protrusions deter larger predators. FUTURE: In the future, the rainforest shrinks, and the chameleon adapts to the urban jungle. Its skin mimics concrete and steel for camouflage. With a shorter, sturdier tail, it climbs walls and fences with ease. Enhanced eyes detect the movement of prey and predators in the bustling city. It preys on urban pests like cockroaches and rats, using its sharp tongue as a defense against feral cats and rats.
