Do chameleons really have panoramic vision? Is it true that their eyes have the best magnification out of all vertebrates?

In this video, I cover:
- The incredibly impressive eyesight of chameleons
- Their weird visual disadvantage compared to us
- The science behind how their eyes work, explained using some homemade laser demos

This is the 13th video in a series about how different animals see the world. Check out my previous videos explaining how octopuses (youtube.com/watch?v=271hvS1E8mI), eagles (youtube.com/watch?v=XhZnGTFcbpw), cats (youtube.com/watch?v=Sck-UP_SFFI), dogs (youtube.com/watch?v=vfH9kT0Pazw), flies (youtube.com/watch?v=5Dv8AwTNOsM), mantis shrimp (youtube.com/watch?v=osDE9q1IpR0), and other animals see the world.
