- The chameleon has a suction cup at the end of its tongue to catch prey and to draw it back into its mouth.
- Chameleons possess the longest tongues out of the entire iguana family and when fully extended stretch twice as long as its body length!
- Contrary to popular conceptions, the chameleon does not change its skin color to match its surroundings; he changes color to communicate with other chameleons. Emotions such as fear or anger can cause color changes as well as changes in light, temperature, or humidity.
- A chameleon can rotate each eye independently of each other and has a 360 degree view of its environment. It can focus its eyes very quickly and can enlarge what it is looking at, much like a camera lens.
