Synopsis:

An educational nature film in which some characteristics of a chameleon and a snake in an artificial environment are shown. We see various images of a chameleon and a snake filmed in captivity. - The African chameleon. This “clown-acrobat” is shown on a stick, while a hand in the frame occasionally sticks out a finger towards him. The rolling eyes, which can move independently of each other, are seen from above. A chameleon that has had nothing to eat or drink for months is fed by spoon; he drinks eagerly, and as much as he can. The shedding of the skin is demonstrated by removing pieces of skin using tweezers. - The Indian cobra is extremely poisonous, and more dangerous than the tiger; cobra bites kill 20,000 people annually. We see several images of a snake extending and biting.
