Facts:

Half of the world's chameleon population lives on the island of Madagascar. They are famous for their ability to change color. This serves as a form of communication, a response to temperature, light, and mood, as well as a defense against predators.

 

Their eyes can rotate and swivel independently, enabling them to see almost a complete 360-degrees or observe two things simultaneously.

 

Their tongues can be as long as their bodies. Chameleons can balance on a branch by gripping it with their claws and wrapping their tail around the branch to hold on. Chameleons can even sleep upside down!

 

Lifespan: 5-9 yrs. (varies by species)

Diet: Omnivore. Insects, snails, spiders, lizards, birds, flowers, berries, and fruit.

Predators and Threats: Humans through habitat destruction and captivity.
