Chameleons can change color, not just to blend in, but also to show emotion, attract mates, or warn off rivals.

Chameleons like their space. Most prefer to live alone and only meet others when it’s time to mate.

A chameleon's tongue is typically twice the length of its body.

Chameleons can move each eye independently. This means they can look in two directions at once!

Their toes are grouped in a special way to grab branches like tongs. Perfect for tree life.

Chameleons use their strong, curled tails to hold onto things like a fifth leg.

Chameleons walk in a funny, slow, rocking way to blend in like leaves swaying in the breeze.

Unlike most other lizards, chameleons cannot fully regrow a new tail.
