Chamaeleon (scientific name: Chamaeleonidae) (English: chameleon), commonly known as chameleon, is a reptile of the Chamaeleontidae family (Chamaeleontidae) of the suborder Sauria. It is produced in the Eastern Hemisphere and mainly lives in trees. Characterized by changes in body color. Every 2 to 3 toes merge into two sets of opposite toes, terminal teeth, and the tongue is slender and extendable. The anole, a member of the family Iguanidae, is native to the Western Hemisphere and is also known as the anole. There are two genera of true Chamaeleo: Brookesia (19 species) and Chamaeleo (70 species). About half of these species are found only in Madagascar, and most of the others are found in sub-Saharan Africa. Two species are distributed in western Asia; one species is in southern India and Sri Lanka; the other (Chamaeleo chamaeleon) is distributed in the Near East and westward through North Africa to southern Spain. The chameleon in the tropical rain forest of Hara Island in northeastern Madagascar is 29 mm long from the tip of its nose to its tail. Its adult body is only as long as a fingernail. It may be the smallest chameleon in the world so far.
