Carl Chameleon has had enough of being told to assimilate and to hide! Just once in his life he would like to be as scary as a snake, as brave as a crocodile or admired like a butterfly. One day, the hungry fossas attack his neighbours – a family of lemures who live in the tree next to Carl’s. He decides to follow the example of the tomato frog: he becomes bright red and puffs up his body. The other chameleons follow his lead. Scared by so many dangerously red chameleons, the fossas make a run for it! Now everybody knows that chameleons are not only able to assimilate and to hide, but that they can also become mighty colourful!
