Supplementary Movie 2:
Colour change is fully reversible: in vivo colour change in a Furcifer pardalis (Panther Chameleon) adult male under relaxation after a male-male combat. Males are much less mobile after than during a combat such that the movie is much more stable. The original video is accelerated 8 times. The first frame of the movie is shown in the lower-left for a better visualisation of the extend of colour change.
