About Chameleons

Chameleons have very long tongues.

Chameleons can purposely change
the color of their skin. This is how
they talk to one another.

Chameleons eyeballs can move
separately.

The biggest chameleons are as large
as cats.

Young chameleons are able to hunt
right after after they hatch.
