WEST JAKARTA, INDONESIA: Photo of a chameleon leaning in to catch a dragonfly with its tongue just leaving its mouth. TAKING no prisoners, this killer chameleon has been snapped having well and truly ‘licked’ its prey. Pictures show this veiled chameleon shoot-to-kill its dragon-fly target with its incredibly fast and sticky tongue. The series of snaps shows the silent sniper pick off its mark and waste no time in gobbling it up whole. Graphic designer Kurit Afsheen (34) was able to capture this quick-fire exchange in his hometown of Cengkareng in West Jakarta, Indonesia.
