Today I saw a very strange animal. It has a l-o-n-g tongue which it whips out to eat insects and when I placed it on different plants it changed colour. Do you know what it is called? |
|
|
| Sakhela: |
|
I believe it is called a chameleon and that the changing of colours helps it to camouflage itself. It is a harmless animal and very friendly, so look after it. |
|

| Ithaba: |
|
Do you know that it can also swivel its eyes around? Wow, it is really an amazing creature. It is a pity that it moves so slowly because very often it is squashed by traffic. |
|
|
| Sakhela: |
|
Yes, if a motorist sees a chameleon – or a tortoise – they should return it to the vegetation on the side of the road. It is not fair to keep animals like these in captivity. People keep strange animals to boost their own egos and have no feelings for the animals or their needs. Of course, there are exceptions, such as taking animals away from a war-torn area or rescuing an injured animal. But as soon as an animal is healed, return it to the wild. |

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
