Thanks for this! I used to have a pet chameleon and I got so sick of explaining this over and over to people who would ask me to “put him on stuff” or whatever… He was actually a pretty active color changer for the type he was, and he had some cool patterns when he was excited and would look like tiger stripe camo when he was tired and hiding for bedtime. I miss that cute little guy!
I've handled chameleons alot in my life and they've always been so fascinating to me. I always thought the dark change of color was when they were scared or something, and the light green that they were happy and or content. We learn new things every day, thanks for making this very chillaxed video!

Reptile keeper here, colour changing is actually pretty common in lizards. Some examples are green anoles, crested geckos (and their relatives), and bearded dragons. Of course, the chameleon colour changing is more noticeable but many lizards have primitive colour changing abilities. See a bearded dragon with a black throat? That means that it’s feeling dominant or upset, and the throat will lighten when the dragon calms down. Many gecko species can “Fire up”, meaning that they can brighten their colours for a short while when they get excited. I find this stuff really fascinating
I love the color change so much. Our bearded dragon changes color so dramatically that people who don't know her well sometimes ask if she's a different lizard when they visit.
I feel like my baby would like your videos, they have a vibe of Miss Rachel. Anyways I honestly didn't know this and think it's an interesting way for these animals to communicate. Thanks for sharing!
Your work is incredible. I think you’ve captured the approachable, entertaining, and educational feeling of PBS Kids more than just about any person I can think of on this platform.
If anything, the octopus is the animal that changes color based on their surroundings. The true "chameleons". Maybe other animals do that, but the octopus is what first comes to mind.
I was just talking at work about the colour properties of cuttlefish, in regards to a comment on chameleons. Facinating and timely video, great explanation, thanks!
As a new chameleon owner, it’s a super interesting process! Our chameleon has only shown greens and grays (because he is young and gets stressed from his new home sometimes) majority of the time he is a beautiful happy bright green or a deeper green. Can’t wait until he is older to change more colors!
Came to show my 3 year old a video of chaneleon changing colors and somehow this is way better than anything I would’ve imagined I’d find for him. Nice video for me and my kid. Thanks
Just found your channel. Love these videos. Love that I can show them to my kids. They aren’t overstimulating and I don’t have to about the content! ❤️
TH-cam just recommended this channel, and it's the best recommendation I've received this year. The video's relaxing and informative nature is amazing.
I woke up in the middle of the night to a stress dream, saw this video in my notifications, and have now delighted in this great lil story ✨️🧡🩵💙 Thank you for sharing
I have actually known this before I watched this video, but other people doesn't seem to care, and didn't talk about it a lot, so I just kept it in my mind. Very interesting video for sure, will watch more.
40 years ago I had an anole as a pet, which is similar to a chameleon. He definitely changed color according to the surrounding air temperature and his mood or well-being. He went from a bright green to a warm brown. Most interesting was once when someone came in the room smoking He immediately turned a strong dark orange color and also had an angry look on his little face! Bless his little heart! He did NOT like smoking in the room!
Oh my gosh! I just discovered your TH-cam channel and I love it! Your videos are reminiscent of Mister Rogers. You are so calming when you talk, and you really explain things in a way that’s easy to understand. The visuals are very helpful! ❤😌
I just want to say that you remind me of the narrator in theold TV show I watched asa kid called Little Bear. Your voice is so soothing and calming. Also keep making these awesome videos!! I can't wait to have kids and have them watch your videos to learn about nature 💜✨
I don't know your name buddy but I must say that your videos about animals insights tell us how beautiful these animals are and how the mother earth has created them, great job and efforts.. Appreciate it
hi! greetings from indonesia! i always love your content! first saw it in shorts then i go here! your background music is always escalating the moods and visuals and your explanations😂 ❤ thanks for the details! have a nice day!
i didnt even watch the entire video and i already knew it was about mood. i know from experience when i found them, i remember when they are scared and terrified they turn brown if im correct.
When I was around eight years old, I thought they BOTH blended in AND displayed their mood all under their control. Became hilarious in hindsight when I found a cartoon that thought the EXACT same thing
Lots of lizards have some kind of a color change mechanism, a lot of bearded dragon owners can attest to it - they usually change it based on their temperature, darker when cold so they can bask more effectively and brighter when warm but also excited. Then their berds change color independently to indicate they are upset or willing to mate. Their bellies have a pattern that can get lighter or darker too!
its interesting that the species that is commonly believed to be the pinnacle of stealth actually sucks at camouflaging with their color changes. i find myself very muted in color, very relaxing video. subscribed.
Cephalopods like cuttlefish, squids and octupus are masters of stealth, they actually blend in, they change there texture and bumbiness and can move like innaminate objects
Ohh wow I never knew! Regarding the tilapia, does it change color like an octopus does (so to blend in) or more similarly to the chameleon, where it’s largely out of it’s control? Thanks :]!
so chameleons change colors based on their emotions/mood! thank u verry much for this ❤ ur videos are relaxing and helpful and it teaches me alot of things
I really like your videos... and I would like them even more if you would add your sources, giving credit to the researchers showing the truth about chameleons. 😊
First off, it should be said that chameleons differ VERY MUCH in their abbillity to change colour in the first place, and also in colour range they can show. AND, on top of that, we can go even crazier. there are HUGE differences in between same species depending on locallity where they are found. Most known probably is Panther chameleon, since its one of the most vibrant species and pretty comon in a pet trade. We have, well, depending on who you ask, but at lest 7 different forms and locallity colours. So one variation can have vibrant blue, turqoise, green (it seems green is the only shared colour among all), white while other are orange, red, yellow, black and green. In other words the turqoise variation doesent have red at all, in any stage or mood, altrough its a same species. Similar thing are been observed in differen animals, snakes etc, but its NOTHING even close compared to chameleons. Its actually pretty misterious thing, not researched enough, at least to my knowledge. The big differences in same snake species is mostly due to human intervention, of breeding different morohs found in nature, but morphs are like white tiger, not a normal thing, they just happen, but in chameleons its different.
I had a chameleon when I was a kid. One day I was wearing a plaid shirt and I put the chameleon on it. It couldn’t decide which color to go and it went crazy and died. True story.

Whenever I put my chameleon in the carpet he gets darker for a reason

I'm sure it's been said before, but your videos remind me so much of the stuff I would watch before school in the morning as a kid. I love it.
Makes me sad you aren’t one of the top creators in this field. Your videos are easy to watch, calming, and EXTREMELY well made.

Thanks for being our online teacher
Are you indonesian?
Btw i agree
@muhammadsafaat245 why do you ask that question 💀
Imagine if our clothes can also change their colors based on how we feel internally.
black. all day. black
That be annoying yet awesome
I fee... I feel... I feel like shit

We know
Our faces do. But one color and one feeling
@@NavajoNinja actually there's more
Embrass, anger, extremely happy
Basically any strong emtion that increases your blood flow
1:32 the whimsy music and whispery "tilapiaaaa" made me giggle in surprise. love that fish. delicious too in my country haha
Agreed. Tilapia is soo good lol. You’ve got good taste.
Especially if baked with lemon butter, or fried with lemon pepper seasoning😋

the color changing on bearded dragons is why they are called bearded dragons too
Visual cues maybe
This was also discussed on Animal Planet’s “The Most Extreme!” too!! Media truly changed our perception about why chameleons change their colors!
Just discovered your channel today and I’m so in love. You give me 90’s/00’s PBS programming. Like Blues Clues and Mr. Roger’s vibes.
how in the world do u make these videos so calm???
He's a chill dude
Chill guy
Your videos are so joyful! It’s so informative and magic in terms of montage. Thank you for making us more educated and good-mooded!
1:34 😂 *whispers* tilapia
Woa never know
@mercycalcon7212 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
😂😂😂 educational ASMR
It’s like Steve Burns from blues clues and Mr Rogers had a naturalist brother, I love this channel
I watched this video on my 15 minute break in school!

This sounds like something old, like old quite nostalgic feelings you feel
This video is very helpful because I was a little confused because chameleons changed colors so fast😂
Saw this on tiktok and rushed here to subscribe. Love the music in this! Very engaging, relaxing, and funny.
His voice is so calming
1:26 “this is a video of a tilapia changing colour!” (😌 *Tilapia* 😌)

With the editing, style of the videos and your voice I think you would be perfect for some kind of educational show.n
Something about your videis make me feel nostalgic. But not anythung i can remember. Just a feeling of familiarity. Very strange, but very comforting
This video enlightened my sister about chameleon color changing 🤣 Love your storytelling style! 🤩

Love the sound effects through out the video..
So calming...
Thanks for delivering knowledge this way, I honestly wish people could just calm down and not bite-size their fact driven videos lol
I don't know your name buddy but I must say that your videos about animals insights tell us how beautiful these animals are and how the mother earth has created them, great job and efforts.. Appreciate it
Was sold when the word tilapia was whispered lmao
Watched this and now I am stronger, thank u
I admire him in how he is teaching and it makes me fell like i love to learn

Thank you for simple, clear and interesting explanation!
All this time and only now I know chameleon used pigment cells to communicate 🤯
0:31 Painted bunting cameo
i didnt even watch the entire video and i already knew it was about mood. i know from experience when i found them, i remember when they are scared and terrified they turn brown if im correct.
Thank you, it’s actually surprisingly hard to find your video, when you search the subject you always get the fake videos first
When I was around eight years old, I thought they BOTH blended in AND displayed their mood all under their control. Became hilarious in hindsight when I found a cartoon that thought the EXACT same thing

Like what you did with the sound fx in the background, makes me feel like watching a blues clues episode 😮
I’ve learned more from this video and then the whole time I’ve been In school
0:31 The bird is a painted bunting!
I love these bite-sized school lesson videos!
Please post more in depth analysis especialy those cells can be controlled how facinating love your content 🤩
Is this one of those ASMR videos? Your voice is so soothing ❤
That real video of a chameleon that is truth and not myth
Omg omg the Gouldian finch cameo goes so hard omg
Wonderfully relaxing video. Loved it. Thanks!
I love this guy's videos they are so relaxing and soothing to watch it reminds me of old curious george episodes
This is a beautiful video saw it from you TikTok. Xxx
I've never seen a chameleon with horns before omg!
I love the little piano jingles.
Using pictures in the same art design as the Eric Carl books really tickles my nostalgia.
Chameleons are very common in my country and they definitely change color based on what we can see.
its interesting that the species that is commonly believed to be the pinnacle of stealth actually sucks at camouflaging with their color changes.

That half red and half grey bird is like that because it can use both Fire and Ice magic..😂
did I just see a chameleon getting rejected?🤣
They're actually transparent and you just see whats behind them
No. Did you even watch the video?
@@Fizzlebean r/woooosh
@@Fizzlebeanyou must be fun at parties
I would love to see a video of yours about moths if you haven’t done one already
I like how the cells diagram looked like it was from an Eric Carle book.

So wonderful we live in an age when at the very least we understand how it works.
What is the evolutionary advantage of being able to express mood through color?
so chameleons change colors based on their emotions/mood! thank u verry much for this ❤ ur videos are relaxing and helpful and it teaches me alot of things
Chameleon: I feel like doing crime! *Changes color to Black*
How do you know these things?
I wonder if different species of them have certain combinations of colors that they can change to. Am I making sense??
