Meeptroid Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 A consolation prize? Thank you, Ellie! My pets sure do need some entertainment and supplies. (Ever since that incident...) And this next GraphicMania contest seems interesting to do. I like Medieval stuff. :) Also, knowing that the only image program you can use is MS Paint relieves me. I don't want to be totally pwned. xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ack. History. *Glares exasperatedly at my history book* Trivia: Chameleons' tails are quite long and can curl around themselves or other objects. They are used for balance on tree branches and occasionally as weapons, almost like an extra leg. Meeptroid: The Chameleon's main predator appears to be snakes. Strategos: Chameleons are zygodactyl. It is an arrangement of toes in a very odd way to us humans. The Evil Guy: Chameleons' eyes can swivel to focus on two separate targets simultaneously, as well as giving the chameleon a 360 degree field of vision. Meeptroid: A few chameleons are ovoviviparous, meaning that they hold the eggs inside their body until they are about to hatch. Strategos: Chameleons can not turn every color, despite popular belief. They can only turn green, blue, turquoise, black, and brown. Meeptroid: Running water is the preferred way Chameleons drink. Still water doesn't attract them much. Meeptroid:Adult Chameleons usually tend not to eat flies. The Evil Guy: Fully grown chameleons of different species range in size from 2.5 to 80 centimeters long. Meeptroid: A Chameleon's tongue can shoot out of its mouth at a little more than 13 miles per hour. The Evil Guy: The name 'chameleon' is derived from Greek words meaning 'ground lion' Meeptroid: Large Chameleons have been known to feast upon different types of birds and even other lizards. The Evil Guy: Most species of Chameleon are listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and therefore cannot be legally exported/imported as pets. Meeptroid: There are more than 80 known species of chameleons. Strategos: Some larger chameleons tend to eat other lizards. The Evil Guy: Chameleons have an average life span of 9-10 years. Meeptroid: Chameleons, unlike most reptiles, can not regenerate lost tails. Myriad: Like many other reptiles, chameleons also shed their skin. A chameleons skin will not grow when the chameleon does, so they will shed it when it gets too tight. The shed skin is also a good source of protein, so often a chameleon will eat its old skin. Meeptroid: Chameleons are very territorial lizards and usually do not socialize with others. The Evil Guy: Contrary to popular belief, Chameleons change their skin colour depending on their mood and health, not to blend in with their surroundings. Meeptroid: Studies indicate that chameleons can in fact, see in color. The Evil Guy: Many species of Chameleon are sexually dimorphic, often with the males having more prominent features than the females. Meeptroid: Along with a very long and sticky tongue, Chameleons have teeth in order to chew food and tear chunks of their prey. The Evil Guy: Chameleons' tails are quite long and can curl around themselves or other objects. They are used for balance on tree branches and occasionally as weapons, almost like an extra leg.

Meeptroid Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Bleh. This contest has become a little neglected. :( Even though you'll be taking a break soon anyway. :P Also, you don't have to give me 5k for my Lotto ticket.
