Mantadia - Short-horned chameleon catching insect (Madagascar)

The short-horned chameleon (Calumma brevicorne) feeds on a wide variety of insects and here she just catched a cricket. All chameleons feed by projecting their long tongues from their mouths to capture prey located some distance away. This occurs at extremely high performance, reaching the prey in as little as 0.07 seconds.
