Thermal constraints on chameleon feeding

Success and the start of the project By Christopher V. Anderson

Thanks to everyone's contributions and support, I was able to raise almost 150% of my campaign goal! Thank you all very much, this will help a great deal toward funding this project! Now that the fundraising has finished, its time to start the work and I'm pleased to say I've just landed in Cape Town to start this project. Our high-speed camera is now set up and working after the long trip and all our permits have been issued. Tomorrow we head off to KwaZulu Natal to start collecting animals to film. Hopefully once collected the animals will cooperate fully and feed willingly at a range of temperatures for me! - Chris
