Foot of a chameleon
Foot of a chameleon. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the foot of a chameleon. Chameleons are the only lizards with zygodactyle feet, or with toes in a pincer arrangement. This gives them a strong grasp for climbing. On the front limb, the foot has two toes on the outside and three on the inside; on the hind limb this is reversed. Chameleons are found mainly in Africa and Madagascar, though some species also inhabit southern Europe and Asia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate foot of a chameleon, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chameleons possess a unique feature among lizards – zygodactyle feet, characterized by toes arranged in a pincer-like formation. This adaptation grants them exceptional climbing abilities and an incredibly strong grasp. In this image, we observe the front limb of the chameleon's foot with two toes positioned on the outer side and three on the inner side. Interestingly, this arrangement is reversed in their hind limbs. The fine details of each toe, claw, and scale are beautifully highlighted in false colours, revealing the complexity of its biological structure. Chameleons predominantly inhabit Africa and Madagascar; however, certain species can also be found in southern Europe and Asia. Their presence across diverse regions speaks to their remarkable adaptability within different ecosystems. This mesmerizing photograph not only offers us a glimpse into nature's wonders but also serves as a reminder of how intricately designed life forms can be. It invites us to appreciate the diversity present within our world's fauna while marveling at the fascinating adaptations that enable creatures like chameleons to thrive in their environments.
