Hello, I will answer the copy about chameleon for you. I believe many friends don't know the information about chameleon. Now let's have a look!

1. Chameleon, a lizard suborder, is a reptile of the family Evacuation, characterized by its changeable body color.

2. There are two genera of true refuge: 19 species of Brookesia and 7 species of Chamaeleo refuge.

3. About half of the species are only distributed in Madagascar, and most of the others are distributed in sub-Saharan Africa.

4. Two other species are distributed in western Asia, one in southern India and Sri Lanka, and the other (Chameleo chameleon) is distributed in the near east, crossing north Africa to the south of Spain.

5. The length of chameleon is about 17-25 cm, and the longest is up to 6 cm. Its sides are flat, its tail is often curled, its eyes are protruding, and its eyes can rotate independently. Some kinds of chameleon have helmet-shaped heads, while others have conspicuous headdresses, such as three long horns protruding forward, etc., which are more obvious in males, and may be used to defend its field.

6. If there are other males in his field, the dominant male will stretch his body, his throat will swell, his head hair will stand up or shake, and if he can't scare away the other male, he will rush over and bite his neck.

7. The body color changes of chameleon are different, and the mechanism of color change is that the autonomic nervous system controls the cells (melanocytes) containing pigment particles to diffuse or concentrate the pigment in the cells.

8. Many species can turn green, yellow, beige or dark brown, often with light or dark spots.

9. Color change depends on environmental factors, such as light, temperature and mood (fright, victory and failure).

1. It is generally believed that the chameleon changes color to match the color of its surroundings, but this is actually a misunderstanding.

11. Chameleons are mostly found in rainforests to savannahs, some in mountainous areas, but rare in cold savannahs, and they absolutely inhabit trees, with the exception of Chameleo chameleon mentioned above, which is usually on the ground.

12. In addition, males in courtship and females who want to lay eggs will go to the ground.

13. Chameleons mainly eat insects, and large species also eat birds.

14. Most species are oviparous. They lay 2-4 eggs on the ground, and the eggs are buried in soil or rotten wood. The incubation period is about 3 months.

15. Several species in South Africa are viviparous.
