The oddball reptiles, chameleons, can teach animal lovers a little something about nanotechnology. Viewers peel away the layers of the chameleon skin to discover the different types of chromatophores using an episode of a larger series exploring reactions. They then learn how humans put the technology to use in their own camouflaging endeavors.
