Chamaeleonidae, commonly known as chameleons, are a family of lizards found primarily in Africa and Madagascar. They are known for their unique ability to change color, which helps them communicate and regulate their body temperature. Chameleons have distinct features, including long, sticky tongues for catching prey and independently moving eyes that provide a wide field of vision. These reptiles inhabit a variety of environments, from rainforests to deserts. Chameleons are primarily insectivorous, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. Their specialized adaptations, such as their zygodactylous feet and prehensile tails, allow them to navigate their arboreal habitats effectively.
