Rachael has a point, as one cannot prove that a leopard never changes his spots - one may only prove the positive (i.e., that a leopard can change his spots).
Now the gang's all here - the Moon, the lizards and our new feline friend. I seriously doubt that a chameleon could mimic a leopard and even if he could, he wouldn't do it like the one I've illustrated here. But if an insurance company can call an anole (our lizard on the moon) a gecko, I'm hardly the worst offender of lizard misinformation.
