← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a chameleon hunts from direct sunlight?
A)Increased maneuverability while targeting prey
B)Compromised disruptive camouflage integrity✓
C)Enhanced ability to regulate vitamin D
D)Optimized thermal gradient for oxygen consumption
💡 Explanation
Compromised camouflage occurs because thermoregulation overrides background matching; heat load triggers skin darkening, disrupting background mimicry rather than camouflage. This is because thermoregulation requirements compete, therefore revealing the chameleon where lightness enhances stillness, blending, hunting performance.
