Page 61 - Allah's Artistry in Colour

Chameleons are
one of the best
self-camouflaging
animals. As seen in
the photographs
above, the cool
shadow of a fern
leaves a temporary
imprint on the
warm skin of the
chameleon.

The squid and octopus
can also change their
colours rapidly.
Sometimes it appears as
if waves of colour are
pulsating across their
bodies. Lots of different
things set off these
changes – anger, the
sight of food, fear, and
the colour of the back-
ground. 31 Allah has cre-
ated these beings along
with the features that will
help them to protect
themselves under the
sea. Allah is the All-
Encompassing, the All-
Knowing.
