The chameleon is an arboreal reptile. Insectivorous, it is able, in just a few minutes, to swallow hundreds of insects. His mesmerizing eyes do not allow him to have night vision, so he rarely moves at night. During the day, it spends most of the time hanging on a branch. To protect itself from its predators, the chameleon can change color: this is called homochromy. It adopts the colors of its environment to blend into the decor. Photo credit: John Cobb
