BANDED KRAIT: A VERY POISONOUS SNAKE WITH ALTERNATING YELLOW 



AND DARK BANDS 



It is very conspicuous and may serve as an illustration of warning coloration. Perhaps, 

 that is to say, its striking coloration serves as an advertisement, impressing other creatures 

 with the fact that the Banded Krait should be left alone. It is very unprofitable for a snake 

 to waste its venom on creatures it does not want.

THE WARTY CHAMELEON 



The upper photograph shows the Warty Chameleon inflated and conspicuous. At another time, 

 however, with compressed body and adjusted coloration, the animal is very inconspicuous. The 

 lower photograph shows the sudden protrusion of the very long tongue on a fly.
