What is a Chameleon?
A chameleon is a type of lizard known for its color-changing skin and zany, zoomy eyes. Chameleons can move their eyes in different directions at the same time, helping them look around without moving their heads. Most chameleons live in warm forests and jungles, especially in Madagascar. They use their long, sticky tongues to catch insects in a flash. Chameleons can live for 4 to 10 years depending on the species, and they usually weigh just a few ounces. Their skin feels rough and scaly, and they change color not only to blend in, but also to show their mood or to stay warm. They make soft hissing sounds when they feel threatened and love to climb trees with their strong, gripping feet and curly tails.
