Chameleon



Well this is a very common reptile, known to anyone and everyone. Since childhood we are taught of its colour changing ability, and the common phrases associated with it. No wonder an amazing creation.




But what more is that, there is only one species of chameleons found in the Indian subcontinent known as Chamaeleo zeylanicus. The name Chameleon is made up of two greek words Chamai and Leon meaning, The Earth Lion. Another interesting factor of this creature is that the foot structure, eyes and tongue of all the chameleons are the same.
