Something I have known for years but thought some of you might not know....

"The chameleon’s eye produces the largest image of any vertebrate compared to its size. This is formed by an ‘astonishing’9 negative lens,10 likely ‘unique among animals’,9 i.e. it makes light diverge rather than converge."

"This is a result of a unique optical design: unlike other vertebrate eyes, the crystalline lens of the chameleon has negative refractive power."
