Chameleon

Chameleons, belonging to the family Chamaeleonidae, are fascinating creatures with a rich taxonomic and natural history. With over 200 recognized species, they inhabit diverse ecosystems, ranging from rainforests to deserts across Africa, Madagascar, Europe, and Asia. Renowned for their remarkable ability to change colour, chameleons primarily feed on insects using their projectile tongues. In captivity, enthusiasts must replicate their natural environments, providing UVB lighting and varied temperatures.
