5 facts you probably didn't know about chameleons
1. Mood Reflectors: Stress, excitement, temperature changes, and even health conditions can influence a chameleon's colour shifts.
2. Independent Eyes: Their eyes can move independently, giving them a full 360-degree view of their surroundings
3. Sticky, Super-Fast Tongues: A chameleon’s tongue can be twice the length of its body and shoots out at lightning speed to catch insects, often in milliseconds.
4. No Ears, Sharp Hearing: They don’t have external ears but can detect sound vibrations, especially in the low-frequency range.
5. Egg or Live Birth: While most chameleons lay eggs, some species give birth to live young, which is quite rare among reptiles.
