Veiled Chameleon Animal Printouts Chameleons are a type of lizard that has the ability to change the color of their skin with the temperature, light, and the chameleon's emotional level. Chameleons have a long, prehensile tail and a helmet-like casque on the head. They catch their prey using their long, sticky tongue. The end of the tongue is wider than the base.
Veiled chameleons are native to deserts of Yemen and southern Saudi Arabia.
They are well adapted to extreme temperatures and scarce water. They are now found all over the world as pets. Female Veiled chameleons lay white, oval, tough-skinned eggs, which are buried in warm sand until they hatch.
