Moralia, Teubner edn. vi 1 1 De sollertia animalium p. 58: ‘The chameleon changes (colour) not through any endeavour to hide itself, but from fear … and this comes about through abundance of breath, as Theophrastus says. For the whole body is almost nothing but lungs, from which it follows that being full of spirits the animal is prone to change’.
