Chamaeleons are probably best known for their ability to change colors. Apart
from that, they have a number of other characteristics that make them the most easily
recognizable lizards: their body is laterally compressed and their heads often possess extensively
developed horns and crests. Their tail is prehensile and 2 or 3 of their toes are fused to form
grasping pads, making them ideally adapted to arboreal life. [ eng ] |
