Slowly showing more and more coloration, this Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) will have much more red streaking his body in about a year's time. You can already see this coloration coming in around his eyes and mouth, with light flourishes painting his legs and abdomen. He's got loads of crickets to eat before then, though--he eats over a dozen a day!
And chameleons really are quite evolved! Seemingly every facet of their being is highly specialized for survival, from their gripping, pincer like feet, to their prehensile tails, to their separately-swiveling eyes, to their color-shifting skin, to their darting tongues. Most chameleons share these incredible traits, be they tiny Leaf Chameleons (like the smallest of all, Brookesia micra, which grows to only an inch in length) or the Parson's Chameleon, which grows to over 25 inches in length, or the size of a house cat!
This panther chameleon, named Queso, lives in captivity.

Panther chameleons are diurnal, which means that they are most active during the day. They spend their days foraging in the trees, searching for insects. They are arboreal, which means that they live in the trees, rather than on the ground. Males are particularly territorial, and will patrol and protect their territories from other males. The largest males have the most productive territories, with a wide variety of food sources.

Panther creek, near Panther Creek Falls has much more to offer than just the falls. Yes, Panther Creek Falls are stunning, not trying to downplay the falls, but there are many fantastic images to be had near the falls too. You can see the actual falls in the distance here in this image, through the trees. You don't want to slip into this stream, you would end up over the falls there in about 40 feet. Not sure if the tree framing the top of the image works, you tell me.
We had just come back up form Falls Creek Cave near here and we were zonked! That cave is a lot of scrambling and your legs are toast after a mile or so in that cave. The idea was were going to just shoot the top of Panther Creek Falls. That's why we were shooting this aspect. We finally did scramble down the hill anyway though, images from that coming soon. Needless to say we slept well that night. Dreams of dripping tripods. :)
This Panther Chameleon was enjoying the sunshine and not in a hurry to move, however it has its eyes trained on us.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and favs..it is always appreciated.
Happy Tuesday

In my travels tonight I came upon some woods and was inspired to bring out some little used avs - the panther scouts...I'm not sure if they are probing or protecting the perimeter, but either way I thought they looked kind of cool, so you all get to see them.

La première fois que j’étais allée au Parc des Félins, un médiateur du parc me l’avait montrée sinon je la loupais. Je savais que les panthères grimpaient mais je n’imaginais pas voir une panthère dans un arbre à une telle hauteur.
A l'origine endémique de Madagascar, l'espèce a été introduite à la Réunion depuis de nombreuses années où elle bénéficie, bien que d'origine exotique, du statut d'espèce protégée.
Le caméléon panthère fait partie des plus grands caméléons existants : sa taille peut atteindre 55 cm queue comprise pour le mâle et 35 cm pour la femelle. Les femelles ont une couleur terne, celle des mâles est plus prononcée. La couleur est fonction du sexe de l'animal et peut aussi varier d'une région à l'autre. Contrairement aux idées reçues, la faculté de changer de couleur du caméléon n'est pas une technique de camouflage, elle est liée à son "humeur" : en présence d'un rival, le caméléon se gonfle et prend une couleur plus marquée pour impressionner l'adversaire. Il peut aussi utiliser cette faculté pour séduire une femelle.
When I started hiking about six years ago now I made a list of places that I wanted to see, Panther Falls was the first thing that I'd written down, but it's 3 1/2 hours south of my house, indeed maps took me into Oregon to get to it. (Crossed 'the bridge of the Gods', the name became self explanatory when I drove over because I was talking to the Man all the way over....)
I have never experience mist like this, the air was wet, the world was green and the sounds of the falls was a dream, it really is a tiny piece of heaven on Earth.
Now the conundrum. Out of the 3,046 cataloged waterfalls in Washington, NW Waterfall Survey cites Panther Falls specifically when it explains why it took the directions to falls off of their maps that don't have sanctioned trails due to the increased amount of deaths and erosion taking place in these amazing places. To get this shot one must step over the fence and walk on what was once lush green moss, but is now just wet rocks. The Boy Scout in me cringed, but I always practice leave no trace, I didn't touch anything green, but the folks before me did or else I couldn't have got this shot.... so.....I'd caution safety for yourselves and respect for the land if you go, and I think that you should.
This Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) is a master of the color change. Interestingly, they do not change colors to blend in. They use them to communicate with other chameleons and to regulate body heat--when they're cold, they'll grow dark to absorb sunlight and vice versa! How, you ask? Their top layer of skin is transparent, and the layers beneath it are full or chromatophores. These are essentially specialized cells that contain sacks of pigment...pigment that they can contract and hide or expand. Melanins form browns. Iridophores generate blue and white. Xanthophores make yellow and erythrophores make red. Chameleon species and genetics also play a role in how strong any particular color set may be in each lizard. And the central nervous system triggers the color changes based on the chameleon's needs at the time!

Contrairement aux idées reçues, la panthère noire n’est pas, en tant que telle, une espèce de panthère. Il s’agit tout simplement d’une particularité issue d’une anomalie de coloration issue d'un excès de mélamine que peuvent présenter les léopards indiens, les panthères de Java ou même les jaguars. Leur pelage n'est pas, non plus, uniformément noir : les rosettes caractéristiques de ces félins restent visibles (voir panthère de gauche).

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. Decreased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to decrease the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise.
