theres is none, theres tree bark that looks like a chameleon, but seriously chameleons really dont camouflage that well, there color changes are more emotion that camo, now flat fish, thats a differnt story, theyre quite good at it, but chameleons not so much, so if there is truly one in this picture, its behind the tree

Where are the eyes? legs? Tails? I see your blue outline, but I can't see it

THere is a difference in the "bark" pattern that matches the typical skin pattern of a chameleon.

yeah but it also has no depth, chameleon bodies point up not lay flat

Maybe that webpage was a joke.

yeah all the other pics I have found are not nearly that well hidden, but who knows.

I tried to outline it as best I could but it is very hard to see. I'm not so sure about its left leg though.

There's no Chameleon there. The comments about depth are right: Unless it's a flattened-by-a-car Chameleon, there isn't one.

Two people have submitted where they think it is; their results are different, which means that it's a matter of if your imagination can draw one out or not.

Actually both acelin's and my outlining are at the exact same spot.

The two people who have submitted pictures with the thing outlined outlined the same thing. What are you talking about?

The lighting is such that it doesn't appear to have any depth.

Alas, you're right to an extent. But I think his version is bigger than yours, unless he only outlined the vague area of where it might be.

He circled it as opposed to actually outlining it.

Do you see it, too?

Indeed. I'd say that the light is *just right* that there doesn't appear to be much depth (but I do see a bit of depth to it). Not quite sure exactly how the legs are oriented, but that's definitely it.

Yeah I agree^^^ I have seen some of these things IRL and at the right angle, you can hardly notice them.

This is what i came up with

Ok, apparently I don't have anything better to do than talk about a chameleon so I decided to enhanced the contrast and I flipped the image 90 degrees. The chameleon is facing right now. Unfortunately I'm still not 100% sure about the left leg so I didn't enhance it.

EDIT: also if you look closely you can make out it's eye.

You're missing a lot of the tail - it was a bit longer.
I'm not sure about the left leg either...
