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.
