Chameleon

Chameleons are lizards with grasping feet, independently moving eyes and a tongue that can project rapidly to catch prey. Many live among trees or shrubs. Color changes serve communication and temperature regulation as well as helping some individuals match aspects of their surroundings. Their side-to-side body shape and deliberate movements support life among branches. Many have a prehensile tail for added grip, though smaller ground-dwelling species may differ. Most feed mainly on insects and other small animals.
