Why have land animals never evolved adaptive camouflage?

  Just taking a guess, but maybe translucent skin doesn't do as well for survival in the sun.

    aren't fish with that feature also technically "under the sun" (dependent on visibility gained by the sun)?

      Check out the Beer-Lambert law. Intensity declines exponentially with depth.

  I would think Chameleons count has having active camouflage, no?

    Good point, forgot about them. How about anything warm blooded?
