Boomslang vs. Chameleon | National Geographic

here in Africa a Boomslang is looking
for its favorite meal a chameleon the
Boomslang is one of Africa’s longest
tree snakes a perfectly camouflaged
ambush hunter it has hemotoxic venom
small amounts cause hemorrhaging even
death even in humans now the chameleon
is dangerous to its own prey of course
great eyesight and a tongue of glue
equals lunch the chameleon has skin that
takes on the color of its surroundings
and eyes that can spot food or danger in
almost any direction but the chameleon
is no match for the Boomslang the snake
sees right through the chameleons
camouflage but it’s still on its own
food hunt and has no idea that it itself
is being hunted an African legend has it
that the gods entrusted the secret of
eternal life to the chameleons as a gift
for mankind but the chameleon was too
slow
and death entered our world just as it
enters the chameleons world here the
Boomslang has super strength venom slow
acting but effective destroying the
vital parts of the victim’s blood it has
solid fangs the venom is delivered via
special grooves on the surface the
Boomslang can now enjoy the delights of
its fresh meal
