Description
↓↓
A chameleon is a type of lizard known for its ability to change the color of its skin. This color change helps with camouflage, communication, and temperature regulation. Chameleons have long, sticky tongues for catching insects, independently moving eyes that give them a wide field of vision, and grasping feet for climbing. They are usually found in warm habitats such as forests and savannas, and are famous for their unique appearance and slow, deliberate movements.
History
↓↓
Chameleons are a family of reptiles native to Africa, Madagascar, and parts of Asia, known for their ability to change color and their distinctive eyes and tongues. They have existed for millions of years, with fossils dating back to the Paleogene period (about 66–23 million years ago). Humans became aware of chameleons through exploration and natural history studies, particularly during the Age of Discovery. Today, chameleons are studied for their unique adaptations and are kept as exotic pets in many parts of the world.
