All about Chameleons
Chameleons are lizards famous for changing colour. They use colour to communicate, to control body temperature and sometimes to blend into their surroundings.
Their eyes can move independently of each other.
A chameleon's colour change comes from special cells in its skin that reflect light in different ways. Chameleons do not usually change colour simply to match their background. They often change colour to show how they feel or to signal to others.
