Supplementary Movie 3:
In vivo colour change in a Furcifer pardalis (Panther Chameleon) adult male under excitation upon presentation of another adult male in its vision field. The original video is stabilised and accelerated 3 times. The first frame of the movie is shown in the upper-right for a better visualisation of the extend of colour change. Note that this male is dominated by the male in its vision field, hence, colour change is mild.
