Chameleons are fascinating creatures found in various parts of the world, from Africa to southern Europe and Asia.
Known for their ability to change color, this unique trait is used for communication and temperature regulation, rather than camouflage alone. Their eyes move independently and have a full 360-degree view of their surroundings. These remarkable reptiles also have long, sticky tongues that can extend rapidly to catch prey, making them efficient hunters in their habitats.
