Wait for it… Keeper Andrew sent us this amazing slooow-mo video of a jeweled chameleon eating fruit flies! In real time, a chameleon's tongue launches, catapult-like, at speeds faster than a jet plane. The tip of the tongue is also covered with a syrupy mucus that allows these lovely lizards to snag prey weighing up to a third of their own body weight. Now that’s some real sticking power!
