Which animal changes its Colour by itself?

Chameleons can stretch their iridophores to change the wavelength—and therefore the color—of the light they reflect. The reflected light from iridophores works in concert with the pigment in the chromatophores to produce the suite of brilliant blues, reds, and oranges seen in many chameleons.

What animal changes color the fastest?

No creature on the planet can change its camouflage as fast and effectively as an octopus, cuttlefish or squid. These speed merchants of adaptive coloration can change their skin's color, brightness, contrast and pattern in as little as 200 milliseconds — one-fifth of one second — as fast as a human eyeblink.

What is it called when an animal fur changes color?
