Close up of the screen with a unique tongue

43-year-old photographer Mr Cromwell from the US state of Oklahoma stumbled across a very interesting scene: A long chameleon in a mantis hunt .

The chameleon is waiting for the 'ripe' opportunity to catch the prey.

T bargain comes, the gecko quickly releases the tongue about 25cm long to grab the prey.

All animals must have basic characteristics suitable for survival in the animal world.The chameleon has the ability to 'transform' in an instant to disguise.Besides, it also has the ability to launch the blade at a dizzying speed to grab prey.

The prey is almost under the control of this chameleon.

The tongue with the tip of the tongue summed up the prey's head.

The mechanism of 'miraculous' tongue release is still a big question for scientists.

In addition to speeding up the tongue, the gecko also has the ability to cling to the trunk of the tree.This also helps in its hunting process.

For photographers, to quickly record the impressive moments above is not simple.Things sometimes happen only in very short time.This requires the photographer to be quick and professional, to be able to "capture" the best moments.
