The veiled chameleon is named so because of the large protrusion on its head. Contrary to what many people think, a chameleon can only change a limited number of colors. Look at the feet in this picture, the fused toes are perfect for grasping, which makes them excellent climbers.
Chameleons tend to spend most of their time in trees.
Look at the eyes in the picture to the right. The chameleon is the only animal that is able to move each eye independently of the other. They can turn their eyes almost 360 degrees, which allows them to keep one eye on their food and the other one can look out for danger.
