Chameleon

Chameleons are a group of lizards famous for their ability to change skin color, belonging to the family Chamaeleonidae. They are primarily found in Africa and Madagascar, inhabiting trees or shrubs. Key features of chameleons include independently rotating eyes (providing a 360-degree field of vision), a long, highly sticky tongue that can be projected rapidly to catch insects, and feet adapted for grasping branches. Their color changes serve purposes beyond camouflage, including thermoregulation and communication of mood. Chameleons are typically opportunistic carnivores.
