The Robot Zoo Chameleons are lizards that eat insects. A chameleon s extendable tongue, 1.5 times the length of its body, allows it to grab food from a great distance. A chameleon can change its color and pattern to regulate its body temperature, to communicate with other chameleons, and to camouflage itself in its natural habitat. A chameleon s eyes can move independently of each other. A chameleon can see nearly 360 degrees around itself without moving its head or body.
Chameleons have five toes on each foot.
Having the same number of toes on each side of a twig allows for a firm, balanced grip. Chameleons that live in trees are awkward and clumsy on the ground. Habitat loss and ignorant greedy collectors threaten chameleons in the wild. A platypus has webbed front feet and partial webs on its hind feet. The platypus lives in Australia, from northern Queensland to Tasmania.
