Chamaeleo is a genus of lizard found primarily in Africa, but also in southern Europe and southern Asia east to India and Sri Lanka. They are slow moving, arboreal, with independently movable eyes, the ability to change skin colouration, long tongue, prehensile tail and special leg adaptations for grasping vegetation.
