Color Me Sad


Photograph by Nicolas Le Boulanger, National Geographic Your Shot

When Your Shot member Nicolas Le Boulanger sees his friend’s pet chameleon, housed in a terrarium, he can’t help thinking that it's in the wrong place, even if it’s loved. “I wanted to [relate] the confusion that this animal seems to feel as it is separated from its natural environment,” he writes. “His look seems to call for help.”

Regarding the commentary on the photo, we continue to encroach on the natural environments of animals all the time. Instead of feeling sorry for this one animal, we should work to live in harmony with the rest of the planet, instead of living like we are the only species that matters.
