After seeing the pride of 5 lions we were heading back to camp when on the road in front of us we saw a green chameleon. It was a pretty odd sight as this mostly green creature was walking down the brown, sandy road...not blending at all! The chameleon's only defense is to blend. We stopped the truck and began to watch him. The next thing we saw was this skinny snake screaming out of the grass on the side of the road. He was heading straight for the chameleon.
What could he want? He ceratinly wasn't big enough to eat the chameleon? As we watched the snake began attacking the poor green creature. Another vehicle came up behind us and as it approached the snake shot off to the side of the road again. Once that truck had stopped...back he came. We don't think he was venomous as we didn't see any fangs, but boy oh boy was he after that poor chameleon. We watched for about 30 minutes and after that we left. Very sad to see, but part of the circle of life.
