A friend and I were discussing about how far can chameleons see, and we couldn't find a definitive answer. I looked in a few things, and the only partial answer i found was in a French thesis that said this:
"Par ailleurs le caméléon a une très bonne acuité visuelle. Ses performances sont comparables à celles d’une lentille de téléobjectif de 100 à 150 millimètres de distance focale [LE BERRE (1995)]."
The quote is from "CAMÉLÉONS : BIOLOGIE, ÉLEVAGE
ET PRINCIPALES AFFECTIONS", by Fany JUNIUS-BOURDAIN in 2006.
Overall, what i understand in that, is that their eye performances are as good as a 100 to 150 millimeters telephoto len. However, in neophyte language, what does that mean?? How far can they really see?
Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advance!
